Given the terrific contribution he's made to cinema, it's surprising that director Milos Forman isn't more of a household name. His relatively under-the-wire profile may stem from his un-auteur-like willingness to refine his style, if not his sensibilities, to best suit his projects — from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and Amadeus (1984) to Hair (1979) and such earlier Communist-bloc-era Czech films as Loves of a Blonde (1965). Indeed, what most defines a Forman film, besides a grand scale, may be a lingering otherness, an exquisitely rendered loneliness that predates his status as a US immigrant — perhaps because of the fact that his parents died in Auschwitz when he was just a boy.
