One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Milos Forman)
Randall P. McMurphy, in order to avoid prison, has himself committed to a psychiatric hospital. Discovering the oppression of the staff and the distress of the patients, he incites a rebellion within the institution…
"Milos Forman combines the rebellious spirit of his Czech films and the elements of protest Hollywood cinema. More than an indictment of how psychiatric hospitals work, the film becomes, through jubilant sequences and moments of intense emotion, a metaphor for a society based on repressive systems and phenomena of exclusion. A tragic hymn to freedom and resistance." (Le Guide Cinéma, Ed. Telerama)
"The acting honors are shared by Nicholson with a large and almost totally unfamiliar but meticulously well-chosen supporting cast. He and they constitute an ensemble whose quality is such that they always seem characters colliding and never acting." (Los Angeles Times)
