thanks again for helping kathryn put it all together... it really means alot
the movie should start around 7:45pm, so starting around 7 i think we'll watch an episode of the OFFICE (BBC, of course) so people can hang out for a bit before we start the movie... that way if people want to come but don't feel like staying for the film they have some time to hang out...
the main feature will be:
THE FIREMEN'S BALL
1968, Milos Forman
73 min.
A milestone of the Czech New Wave, Milos Forman’s first color film The Firemen’s Ball (Horí, má panenko) is both a dazzling comedy and a provocative political satire. A hilarious saga of good intentions confounded, the story chronicles a firemen’s ball where nothing goes right—from a beauty pageant whose reluctant participants embarrass the organizers to a lottery from which nearly all the prizes are pilfered. Presumed to be a commentary on the floundering Czech leadership, the film was “banned forever” in Czechoslovakia following the Russian invasion and prompted Forman’s move to America.
