Czechoslovak New WaveThe Czechoslovakian new wave (or The Czechoslovak new wave) is a term used for the early works of directors Miloš Forman, Věra Chytilová, Ivan Passer, Jaroslav Papoušek and several others. Their films made in the middle 1960s were recognizable by long unscripted dialogues, very dark and absurd humour, casting people that had no experience in acting, and especially by handling topics that were not usual in the communist countries, such as love-confusion of young people or the partial absence of morality in Czechoslovakian society. The Soviet invasion to Czechoslovakia in 1968 led to stronger censorship and a sudden end of the wave. Several artists, for example director Forman and the most popular Czech actor of the 1960s, Vladimir Pucholt, soon escaped abroad. Forman's The Firemen's Ball can be marked as a cult film even more than three decades after its creation.
