Granted: the headline is the secret-not-secret anti-establishment themes cleverly-not-cleverly baked into a Czech new wave film made with state money while under communist control. But what if it's also just really really funny? Milos Forman's break-out film (that almost got him arrested) follows the events of a ball celebrating the achievements of an elderly chairman of a regional fire brigade. The bumbling firemen's community make every wrong move while trying to put together a dignified evening of pleasant entertainment for the townsfolk, putting the raw humanity and folly of modern life under an unflinching microscope. But again, what if it's just really really funny?
