Randle McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) is transfered from prison to an institute after several indications suggested his mental instability. The entire movie revolves around how McMurphy is trying to socialize with other inmates as well as the clinic's personnel. The film is a slow burn. A form of expression that tends to highlight significance in the mundane. The kind of presentation that makes one feel uncomfortable at times, but also welcome. The type of production that realizes if this is to work at all, it should be complemented with a "strong" cast. The sort of narration that manages to actually keep one excited by anticipating exciting moments. This is how sophisticated the writing and direction of this movie are. Modern productions would have opted for a more intense approach, a seemingly complex story, a shockingly realistic, cynical setting. This classic, however, is product of a caste of artists who knew that, a simple succession of shots, proper sound volume and a well placed grin, can make all the difference between successful communication and more-than-two-hours loss. Highly recommended!
