Of aII the cinematic New Waves that broke over the worId in the 1960s, the one in Czechoslovakia
was among the most fruitfuI, fascinating, and radicaI. With a wicked sense of humor and a
heaIthy streak of surrealism, a group of fearIess directors-incIuding eventuaI Oscar winners
Milos Forman and Ján Kadár-began to use film to speak out about the hypocrisy and absurdity
of the Communist state. A defining work was the 1966 omnibus fiIm Pearls of the Deep, which
introduced five of the movement's greatest voices: Vera Chytilová, JaromiI Jire, JiràMenzel, Jan
Nemec, and Evald Schorm. This series presents that title, aIong with five other crucial works that
followed cIose on its heeIs, one from each of those fiImmakers-some dazzlingIy experimentaI,
some arrestingIy realistic, all singuIar expressions from a remarkabIe time and place.
Includes:
~~PearIs Of The Deep
Daisies
A Report On The Party And Guests
Return Of The Prodigal Son
