Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Petr Forman, who narrates as his father's voice, is Miloš's son — also an actor who appeared in 'Amadeus' as a small child.
Forman's 1967 'The Firemen's Ball' was banned 'forever' by Czechoslovakia's communist regime — he was already in Paris when the tanks rolled in 1968.
