Adapted from Ken Kesey’s novel, One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest (4K Re-release) centres on Randle McMurphy (Nicholson).
McMurphy is a convict who simulates mental illness in the hope that a transfer to psychiatric hospital might ensure his early release.
But he hasn’t bargained for the rigid regimen of Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher, also superb), who dislikes his disruptive — though he’d say liberating — effect on the ward.
Inspired casting (Danny DeVito, Brad Dourif and Christopher Lloyd are among the patients) and Forman’s naturalistic direction lend authenticity to the proceedings, so that the film succeeds both as anti-authoritarian parable and as an affecting reminder of the psychiatric practices of the past.
‘The rereleased adaptation of Ken Kesey’s novel features a mesmerising central performance – and a villain who now seems much more likable’ – The Guardian ★★★★★
