A firemen’s ball in a Czech village: All number of unforeseen events disturbs the ball’s programme and gives the organising committee plenty to do. Although the unwelcome allegory was little hailed by Forman’s homeland, it did springboard him into Hollywood after receiving a further Oscar nomination. «The movie is just plain funny. And as a parable it is timeless.»
