One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Milos Foreman’s Oscar®-winning drama follows criminal RP McMurphy (Jack Nicholson), who is sent to a mental facility. There, his rebellious streak sets him on a collision course with Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher). 2025 will be our Festival Director, Allison Gardner’s, final festival. Please join us for this special screening of one of her all-time favourite films. Screening at GFF to mark the film's 50th anniversary. Jack Nicholson takes centre stage in Milos Foreman’s Oscar-winner about a criminal who is sent to a mental institution. Initially RP McMurphy (Nicholson), thinks the place will be a soft touch but his rebellious behaviour puts him on a collision course with the controlling Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher). Adapted from Ken Kesey’s novel and produced by Michael Douglas, it was filmed in the real-life Oregon State Hospital - where some of the actors took up residence during shooting. The ensemble cast includes Brad Dourif, Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd, and their characters are just as vital as Nicholson to the tragicomic poignancy.
