About Chytilová Versus Forman
An intellectual match between two dramatically different artists, one permanently unsure and frustrated and questioning everything, the other an astonishing storyteller perfectly at peace, unacquainted with introspection and reliant on intuition.
Directed by Věra Chytilová, Chytilová Versus Forman leans on a strong ensemble — Věra Chytilová, Miloš Forman, Gordon Arnell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1981.
