Loves of a Blonde & Closely Watched Trains

Loves of a Blonde and Closely Watched Trains are two of the best Czech New Wave films. Also both are all about sex. Well, Closely Watched Trains is also about the anti-Nazi resistance late in WWII. Loves of a Blonde is a Milos Forman film, while Jirí Menzel directed the other one. I don't think I know any of his other films. They're both about young people who are immature about love, Loves being about a factory girl who follows a pianist to Prague, and Closely Watched Trains being about a train dispatcher who loves a conductress but can't get it up. Of course, both are really about the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia. It's more obvious in Closely Watched Trains, but the totalitarian society that has a factory town of 16 women to every man clearly just is depressing. Both are worth watching, but I prefer Closely Watched Trains. Only partially because of Jitka Bendová. Yeah, she's hot. But it also just feels more important of a film. Anyway, definitely see them.
