Loves of a Blonde (Lasky jedne plavovlasky)
Directed by Milos Forman, 1965, 88 min., in Czech with English subtitles

With sixteen women to each man, the odds are against Andula in her desperate search for love—that is, until a rakish piano player visits her small factory town and temporarily eases her longings. A tender and humorous look at Andula’s journey, from the first pangs of romance to its inevitable disappointments, this film immediately became a classic of the Czech New Wave and earned Milos Forman the first of his Academy Award nominations.
