From Page To Screen: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
Event Details
Screening as part of the 2025 From Page To Screen film festival
Introduced by festival curator Andrew Chater
Winner of Academy Awards for best picture, director, actor, actress and adapted screenplay, Miloš Forman’s film of Ken Kesey’s countercultural novel is an essential American classic.
Jack Nicholson excels as rebellious new patient, Randle McMurphy who cockily challenges the iron fist control of Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher) on the ward of an Oregon psychiatric hospital. As a ferocious battle of wills plays out, solid presence is provided by Will Sampson Jr.’s “Chief” Bromden, silently observing, patiently waiting for the sun.
Dir. Miloš Forman, USA 1975, 135 mins. With Jack Nicholson, Louise Fletcher, Will Sampson, Christopher Lloyd, Brad Dourif, Danny DeVito.
