Milos Forman, the Czech director who emigrated to the US in the late sixties and during his career was responsible for One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s next and Amadeus - each of which won Best Picture Oscars as well as acting awards for their leads - has passed away at age 86.
In those films - as well as in less well received efforts such as the film version of Hair, Ragtime, The People vs. Larry Flynt and Man on the Moon - Forman was sympathetic to characters who challenged the establishment, who saw the world through a different prism, and who believed in protest as an ultimate expression of character.
