excerpt, full review at my location.
In 1975 came One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, a groundbreaking film which swept the board at the Academy Awards, taking five Oscars. To this day, it remains the most celebrated moment of Milo Forman's career. However, a decade before the film which made Jack Nicholson's career came a more subtle, yet intriguing work from one of Czechoslovakia's best-loved exports - a film with such strokes of comedic genius it was itself Oscar- nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.
A Blonde In Love's charm is in its approach, exploring themes such as the naivety of young love and the political confusion of the era, whilst maintaining a light-hearted frame of mind. A witty script holds together the strands, making for a highly absorbing comedy with plenty of laugh- out-loud moments.
