Miloš Forman

Known for: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), Amadeus (1984)

Miloš Forman made two features of the Czech New Wave — Loves of a Blonde (1965) and The Firemen's Ball (1967) — before the Soviet invasion of 1968 sent him permanently to the United States, where he directed One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and Amadeus (1984), each winning the Academy Award for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. He was one of only three directors to win the Academy Award for Best Director for a film not in the English language.
