Loves of a Blonde (Lásky jedné plavovlásky)

A small-town factory girl shares a night of young love with a touring piano player, and their expectations collide with devastating and hilarious effect when she shows up on his doorstep in the city. This acutely felt satire of Czech daily life, called “compassionate, painfully true and continually beguiling” (Time), opened the New York Film Festival and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. 1965, new 35mm print, in Czech with English subtitles, 88 minutes.
