Michael Douglas To Present Newly Restored ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’ At Karlovy Vary


The prolific actor and producer will be in town to present a newly restored version of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest', which he produced.

Adapted from Ken Kesey’s novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest follows Randle McMurphy, a rebellious gambler whose defiance of authority challenges the rigid confines of a mental institution. A powerful parable of freedom versus control, the film marked a turning point in Forman’s career and paved the way for his later international successes. “The presence of Michael Douglas, Paul Zaentz and the Forman family will make this an unforgettable moment in the festival’s history.”
