Reviews
Once banned in its country of origin, this allegorical comedy is scathing and downright hilarious.
...the film strikes deeper chords and reminds us how important artistic freedom is to any lover of cinema
should be a one-joke political satire, but Forman brings a level of humanity to the allegorical meltdown that belies its sharply barbed political intentions
