Michael Douglas is going to the Karlovy Vary Film Festival to show a new version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

This is a special event at the festival because the movie is 50 years old. Douglas helped make the film and will speak before the show. He will come with another producer, Paul Zaentz, and people from the family of the director, Miloš Forman. The movie won five big Oscars and is very famous. It was directed by Forman, who is from the Czech Republic. Douglas also won an Oscar for this film.

The film festival takes place in a beautiful town. It has a long history with the movie and its team. Douglas and others got the Crystal Globe prize there for their work in movies.

Difficult words: festival (a special event with many shows), producer (a person who helps make a movie), prize (a reward for good work).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
