Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest captured the radical anti-establishment mood of 1960s America. Tyrannical Nurse Ratched rules her psychiatric ward with an iron fist and a penchant for electric shock therapy, so when the boisterous McMurphy arrives - intent on disruption and showing the other patients a good time - a titanic battle of wills emerges. Kesey explores the shadowy boundaries between conformity and individuality, sanity and madness, with devastating effect.

Scaglio reviewed Qualcuno volò sul nido del cuculo by Ken Kesey

Bellissimo, appassiona e non molla

5 stars

Avrò visto il film un paio di volte, finalmente mi sono deciso a leggere il libro. Il punto di vista del Capo Bromden è assolutamente magnifico, il suo percorso di crescita con le avventure di MacMurphy è una storia a tratti divertente, a volte struggente, ma sempre appassionante. Un applauso in particolare alla caratterizzazione dei personaggi, tutti meravigliosamente descritti. Non credevo che mi avrebbe colpito così positivamente. Consigliatissimo a tutti!
