"A burlesque learning comedy where humor is combined with bitterness." The Seventh Obsession
The small town of Zruc sees a regiment of middle-aged reservists land, much to the dismay of its inhabitants who expected to meet young and attractive soldiers. The pretty Andula and her friends are awkwardly courted during the ball organized in their honor...
A sensitive and biting tragicomedy, The Loves of a Blonde follows the peregrinations of a young worker in her quest for love, interpreted by the filmmaker's own sister-in-law. Milos Forman's biggest success in his country with two and a half million spectators, Les Amours d'une blonde also earned him his first nomination for the Oscar® for best foreign film. Both funny and touching, his depiction of youth – of its aspirations, its fallen dreams and its unfailing optimism – resonates universally.
