The story behind the film

"Mescal and madness": One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is the tale of a quixotic figure battling evil in a mental hospital. It won five Oscars and used patients in front of, and behind, the cameras. Will Hodgkinson writes in the Guardian about a documentary that tells the story behind the making of this American classic.
