Poster for Audition

Audition

1964 · 79 min

A wry, gentle slice of small-town life where amateur musicians and nervous hopefuls bumble through rehearsals and auditions with deadpan charm.

Directed by: Miloš Forman
Genres: Music, Documentary
Starring: Jan Vostrčil, František Zeman, Vladimír Pucholt

Overview: Two closely related episodes. Youths make problems for two local orchestras about to compete nationally, and in a talent competition a young girl gets stage fright, while another lies to her boss to compete.
How it feels: Light, earnest, whimsical and satirical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Music, coming-of-age, ambition, work
Content: Mild language. No violence, gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
