Themes of freedom, especially freedom of speech, ring particularly resonantly
in the Hollywood work of Milos Forman, who lost his parents in the Nazi
death camps as a child and as a member of Czechoslovakia's New Wave of filmmakers
in the '60s struggled with censorship. Forman was in Paris when the Russians
invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968, and in '69 he immigrated to New York. His
breakthrough film, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, swept the Oscars in
1975; Amadeus was similarly successful nine years later. Though prolific
in Czechoslovakia, Forman
takes years between Hollywood projects; next up: a biopic of Dadaist comic
Andy Kaufman called Man in the Moon.
