CAIRO – 18 November 2017: The 1975 comedy/drama film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest" starring

Danny DeVito

and Jack Nicholson will be screening at ADEF DECA on Sunday, November 19 as part of its "Cinema Psychoanalysis" theme for the month.



Winning five Academy Awards, this critically acclaimed classic was directed by Milos Forman and adapted from the 1962 novel by Ken Kesey. Jack Nicholson stars as R.P.

McMurphy, a criminal who pleads insanity as means of getting out of a harsh punishment, and is sent to a mental institution instead of serving hard labor.

While there, he fits in well with the patients and attempts to liven up the place, but eventually finds that the mental ward is ruled by the cruel nurse Ratched; McMurphy helps the patients fight back against Ratched's tyranny. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest" was chosen by the American Film Institute as one of its Top 100 best films of all time.

ADEF DECA’s "Cinema Psychoanalysis" theme is a special program for November that features films that explore the relationship between Cinema and Psychoanalysis, screening films that show a direct exploration of human psychology which allow room for the viewers to interpret and create meaning behind the events that occur.
