Description
KONKURS is Milos Formans debut film and is considered to be the film that launched what became known internationally as the Czech New Wave. It was originally made as two separate featurettes but the style and themes were very similar and so they were released as one film. KONKURS is important as the first work of a world-renowned director because it clearly shows the beginnings of the style and pre-occupations that became prominent in many of Formans subsequently acclaimed films including Loves of a Blonde and Amadeus.
