01
Loves of a Blonde
Why this pick
Forman again finds comedy and tenderness in a young person’s hesitant social awakening, using loose, observant scenes and awkward conversations rather than conventional plot momentum.

02
The Firemen's Ball
Why this pick
Its deadpan, everyday realism turns a small community event into escalating social embarrassment, retaining Black Peter’s patient eye for authority, conformity, and helplessly funny behavior.
03
Intimate Lighting
Why this pick
A gentle Czech New Wave study of old friends, built from unforced domestic detail, pauses, and comic discomfort rather than dramatic incident—an ideal companion to Black Peter’s naturalistic rhythms.
04
A Report on the Party and the Guests
Why this pick
This sharper, more allegorical Czech New Wave satire shares Forman’s scrutiny of social pressure and submissive group behavior, though its unease is more stylized and menacing.
05
Daisies
Why this pick
More formally playful than Black Peter, but similarly irreverent toward adult rules and social ritual; its youthful defiance and comic observation make it a vibrant adjacent New Wave discovery.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Petr, a Czech teenager, begins working as a trainee in theft prevention at a grocery store. He is criticized by his employer for being too conspicuous and then, when he suspects a man of stealing, he is too nervous to stop and confront the man so he just follows the man around and then returns home, where his father admonishes him because the shop manager had come looking for him. His father peppers him with questions about how he acted and why he did not do anything to stop the man.
