The Fireman's Ball (Blu-ray)

Director Milos Forman's acclaimed satire (his final film from his native Czechoslovakia) follows the goings-on in a small Czech town whose fire brigade commander is about to step down. His retirement party-which involves a raffle with continuously disappearing prizes and a beauty pageant with less-than-beautiful contestants-turns into a slapstick disaster that also manages to poke fun at Marxist politics. Jan Stockl, Josef Kolb star. 73 min. Standard; Soundtrack: Czech Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English. In Czech with English subtitles. Two-disc set. Region Free
