First published in 1975, this book examines the career of one of the leading post-war Czech filmmakers Miloš Forman through his own testimony. After recollecting his childhood and early artistic ventures, Forman gives accounts of the making of his major films, interspersed with contemporaneous reviews by the author, and in the final chapter he sums up his ‘lessons along the way’. A section entitled ‘Stories behind the Stories’ fills in details on the events and people mentioned in Forman’s narrative. The author’s commentary provides valuable insights not only into the aesthetics of filmmaking but also the social and political environment in contemporary Czechoslovakia.

The acclaimed film director Milos Forman was orphaned in a small Czechoslovakian town during WW2: he was 8 years old when his father was taken by the Gestapo & 10 when his mother was taken away as well. Much of his subsequent life was spent living out of a suitcase & nurturing his dream of making films. When he came to New York, his international reputation was secured with Taking Off, Hair, Ragtime, Valmont, & especially Amadeus, & One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, both of which won Oscars for Best Director & Best Picture of the Year. This frank memoir brings the traumatic experience of Eastern Europe in this century to life & takes the reader inside the very process of artistic creation. Ill.
