The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Lásky jedné plavovlásky (Loves of a Blonde) starting at 8 p.m. Quoting right from the Eastman Calendar: "[Milos] Forman's breakthrough film, a comment on the perils of totalitarianism, follows the everyday life and sexual fumbles of a teenaged girl in a dreary town. A cornerstone of the Czech New Wave, the film grapples with the realities of injustice and disillusionment, yet its international popularity was due in part to the tenderness and optimism of its outlook."
