Povolání režisér - Rozhovor Bohdana Slámy s Milošem Formanem – Sláma Bohdan (2014)

An interview conducted by Bohdan Sláma with Miloš Forman in the summer of 2012 touches on the essence of the work of a director and screenwriter. The legendary film director reveals the paths that led him to the very pinnacle of what can be achieved in this field, and thanks to the sensitive interviewer, no film discipline is overlooked. In this engaging discussion, readers will learn about the search for subjects, writing scripts, criteria used in casting actors, the behind-the-scenes dealings with producers, as well as technical facts regarding camera usage, lighting, dialogue construction, and detailed descriptions of the execution of individual scenes. The text significantly differs in focus from previously published interviews or biographies of Miloš Forman, aimed at those interested in film art, but it may also appeal to a broader audience. The afterword was written by Professor Jan Bernard. The book also includes a filmography of Miloš Forman and Bohdan Sláma, as well as an index of names and a film and character index. The publication is enriched with a wealth of photographic material - both archival photographs from the filming of Forman's movies and current images of both directors during their meeting and interview at Miloš Forman's home in Connecticut, USA.
