	Central Europe Review - Kinoeye: Milos Forman abroad
		Both Forman and his contemporary, the Hungarian auteur István Szabó now fashion big-budget films with an historical sweep and a sense of the "inalienable rights of man": the protests of their generation for "socialism with a human face" collide conveniently with the principals of the American constitution.
		Forman's examination of free speech as analogous to a free society seems close to Szabó's examination of personality and cultural identity ultimately overwhelming the calamitous events of twentieth century Hungarian history in Sunshine (1999).
		Forman in Hollywood was, on one level, a very different beast to the Forman of the Czech New Wave.

	Milos Forman - A few notes on Loves of a Blonde, Amadeus, & The People VS. Larry Flynt - 21-01-2004 - Radio Prague
		Forman, whose Amadeus introduced millions of Americans to Mozart as genius but also as an impetuous young man, whose high-pitched laughter - the laughter of a child - erased the stodgy portrait of the composer we all learned about in school.
		This allowed Forman to stylise a poignant backdrop that poked fun but also showed a sensitivity towards the interactions of ordinary people and ordinary lives - like interaction at the local ballroom, or between parents in the bedroom.
		Milos Forman's style, developed in joint collaboration with scriptwriters Ivan Passer and Jaroslav Papousek in Czechoslovakia, would change somewhat when he moved to America and eventually broke into studio filmmaking on the greatest scale.
