BLACK PETER
ČERNÝ PETR
aka PETER AND PAVLA
Czechoslovakia, 1964, Miloš Forman
Miloš Forman’s first fully fictional feature is a funny, astutely observed, affectionate comedy about a disenchanted 1960s Czech teenager. Peter works as a trainee supermarket detective, clashes with his conservative father, and pines for the local tomboy. Forman employed non-professional actors, improvisation, and real locations to breathe new life into Czech cinema, and this charming, anti-authoritarian movie won the Czechoslovak Film Critics’ prize. “After two shorts in which he gave documentary material fictional form, Forman gave his fictional material documentary form.” –The Holt Foreign Film Guide. 35mm print from the Czech National Film Archive, Prague. Subtitles. 85 min.
