A Report on the Party and the Guests
A Report on the Party and the Guests (Czech: O slavnosti a hostech, also known in English as The Party and the Guests) is a 1966 Czechoslovak political satire film directed by Jan Němec. It was entered for the 1968 Cannes Film Festival,[1] but the festival was aborted owing to the events of May 1968 in France. The film was banned from 1966 to 1968 for being an allegory of socialist regimes. After a short release during the Prague Spring it was banned again for the next twenty years. In 1974 director Jan Němec was forced to leave the country.[2]
