One of the greatest and most low key directors has passed away: Milos Foreman was 86.
He was already famous in Czechoslovakia and was part of The Prague Spring. He left the country to avoid being arresting during the Soviet crackdown. He established himself quickly in the West with the cult classic Taking Off before moving to Hollywood. There he made a sequence of film that made his a foremost director. He only had 20 directing credits, not a weak film among them. He returned to the Czech Republic in 2006 and made his last film there.
RIP Milos Foreman.
