    General:


    Synopsis: 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.

    Alternate Title(s): Al fuoco pompieri!, Fuoco, ragazza mia, Hoří, má panenko, Like a House on Fire, The Fireman's Ball, The Firemen's Ball, The Firemen's Ball and Lottery
