Catch-22
It's a special film about Captain John Yusarian (Alan Arkin), a pilot based in the Mediterranean. This man performs dangerous missions by bombing during World War II. At that time, John was trying hard to escape the impasse in which he was located and his painful and absurd attitude.

Starts out pretty funny, gets incredibly weird by the end.

Can't capture the brilliance of the source material ... but does a pretty good job all the same.

A mess, occasionally a fascinating one.

Released during the Vietnam War, the movie was a commercial failure, but seen from today's perspective, its black humor holds up well.

Flawed, but frequently brilliant.

The film is cynical and bitterly cold. Nichols has hit one out of three virtues.

What a strange and mesmerizing folly.

Nichols has done the same thing in "Catch-22" that he did in "The Graduate." He's given us a funny beginning, then switched tones and gone serious.

Though the vertiginously absurdist logic of the book is hopelessly fractured, some of it does filter through (the mostly superb performances are a great help).
