One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - 50th Anniversary 🪹🏥🤕

Celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of cinema’s greatest classics!

Presented in 4K on its 50th Anniversary, this 5-time Oscar® winner (Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Director, Screenplay) One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest follows Randle McMurphy (Jack Nicholson), 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 a 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.

Darkly funny, deeply moving, and as powerful today as ever, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest returns to the big screen in a stunning anniversary presentation.

📅: Showing Monday 27th October & Friday 31st October
