# Czech New Wave — Forman, Chytilová, Menzel, before they fled

> The Czechoslovak New Wave of the 1960s lasted until the tanks arrived in 1968. In that window: Miloš Forman's sharp comedies of small humiliations (Loves of a Blonde, The Firemen's Ball), Věra Chytilová's formally radical Daisies, Jiří Menzel's gentle Closely Watched Trains — based on Hrabal, as much of the best Czech writing is. Jan Němec, Evald Schorm, Vojtěch Jasný. After 1968, some stayed and made cautious work under normalisation; others emigrated. The list filters Czech-language films from the decade of the wave.
