ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST (1975), Milos Forman
With an insane asylum standing in for everyday society, Milos Forman’s 1975 film adaptation of Ken Kesey’s novel is a comically sharp indictment of the Establishment urge to conform. Playing crazy to avoid prison work detail, manic free spirit Randle P. McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) is sent to the state mental hospital for evaluation. There he encounters a motley crew of mostly voluntary inmates, including cowed mama’s boy Billy (Brad Dourif) and silent Native American Chief Bromden (Will Sampson), presided over by the icy Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher).

CARO DIARIO (1993), de Nanni Moretti
“Dear Diary, there is something I like to do more than anything else…” These lines open the author’s diary, the confident of the most hidden thoughts and ideas, as well as the nightmares which all are his daily companions. A diary in images, free and light as only personal thoughts can be. The film is divided into three chapters: “On my Vespa”, “Islands”, and “Doctors”.

LES GENS NORMAUX N’ONT RIEN D’EXCEPTIONNEL (1993), de Laurence Ferreira Barbosa
Alguém me contou a sua experiência num hospital psiquiátrico. Era um tipo perfeitamente normal, como eu ou outra pessoa qualquer. Isso foi o clic para começar a escrever o argumento. Quis mostrar que se pode levar uma vida normal e ao mesmo tempo oscilar, uma vez por outra, para esse universo. Quis também compreender o que é que se passava a partir desse momento. Será que estamos preparados para os internar? Será que, pelo contrário, tentamos fazê-los sair muito rapidamente?

BIGGER THAN LIFE (1956), de Nicholas Ray
Though ignored at the time of its release, Nicholas Ray’s Bigger Than Life is now recognized as one of the great American films of the 1950s. When a friendly, successful suburban teacher and father (James Mason, in one of his most indelible roles) is prescribed cortisone for a painful, possibly fatal affliction, he grows dangerously addicted to the experimental drug, resulting in his transformation into a psychotic and ultimately violent household despot.

SICKO (2007), de Michael Moore
After exploring the predominance of violence in American culture in Bowling for Columbine and taking a critical look at the September 11th attacks in Fahrenheit 9/11, activist filmmaker Michael Moore turns his attentions toward the topic of health care in the United States in this documentary that weighs the plight of the uninsured (and the insured who must deal with abuse from insurance companies) against the record-breaking profits of the pharmaceutical industry.
