Probably the best film ever

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2016)

Close related to Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange and Francois Truffaut's Les quatre cents coups(The 400 Blows), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is one of the best films ever made. Well, for Milos Forman, is not the best movie. That's because he still has another "best film" in his filmography, which is Amadeus. But for Louise Fletcher, Scatman Crothers, Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd, Vincent Schiavelli, Brad Dourif and, last but specially not least, Jack Nicholson, is their best film ever. Their acting is more than natural, it is real life. Great photography by Haskell Wexler(he is the one who filmed, together with Bill Butler, another masterpiece called The Conversation, with Gene Hackman, directed by Francis Ford Coppola). Great music by Jack Nitzsche(he provided music also for Cruising, An Officer and a Gentleman, Starman, The Jewel of the Nile, 9½ Weeks, Revenge, among many others). And, great production by Martin Fink, Saul Zaentz and Michael Douglas(the son of Kirk). A film to watch again and again. Excellent!
