Filmobiography
"Let the sun shine in!" Numerous members of the FIFF public (16%) voted for this stage musical adaptation by the incomparable Milos Forman. It tells the story of a young farmer from Oklahoma and Vietnam War draftee whose vision of the world is transformed by a pre-deployment trip to New York. Far from a cocktail of nitroglycerin that is past its sell-by date, this film keeps the spirit of rebellion alive.
Two persons who took part in the vote to choose the films of this section will introduce the movie.
