The Firemen’s Ball
I’m just taking a quick break from Sarajevo Film Festival reviews to recommend this exhaustive, heavily illustrated and multi-authored discussion on Miloš Forman’s The Firemen’s Ball (Hoří, má panenko!, 1967) in the Film of the Month Club blog.
It’s in several sections, so here are quick links:
- Introduction (by Marilyn Ferdinand)
- ‘I Laugh at Danger! Milos Forman and The Firemen’s Ball‘ (by Marilyn Ferdinand)
- ‘The Firemen’s Ball: Two Visions of Collective Action‘ (by Ed Howard)
- ‘Chaotic Bodies: The Firemen’s Ball Beauty Pageant’ (by Ed Howard) - part one/part two
- ‘Solidarity in Character‘ by Beamer
