USA, West Germany 1979 | 120 min. | English | Hebrew subtitles
Twelve years after its debut on Off-Broadway, the successful musical has also been adapted for the big screen. At the heart of the plot is the encounter between a young American about to enlist during the Vietnam War and a group of hippies, set against the backdrop of the drug and nudity-fueled world of the flower children. Director Milos Forman (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest) kept all the beloved musical numbers intact, infusing them with extra adrenaline, and the result is a human and moving rock opera. For those who haven’t yet experienced it on the big screen and for those who miss it, here’s a unique opportunity to enjoy the experience once again.
