# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Forman rose in Czechoslovakia as a key voice of the New Wave, until his 1967 film The Firemen's Ball — read as a biting take on Eastern European Communism — played briefly during the Prague Spring, then got banned after the Warsaw Pact invasion in 1968. He emigrated to the United States that year and kept working. In 1975 he won his first Academy Award for Best Director with One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the psychological drama that became a landmark. Nine years later he took a second Oscar for Amadeus, the biographical study of Mozart. Between and beyond those peaks he directed Hair, Ragtime, Valmont, The People vs. Larry Flynt, and Man on the Moon across a career that stretched six decades. Both Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus entered the National Film Registry. He died in April 2018.
