synopsis

Chaos reigns at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War, where three doctors get up to all kinds of mischief…

visuel de : M*A*S*H

L’horreur, la farce, le cynisme, la bouffonnerie et l’acidité du propos vont de pair avec une authenticité quasi documentaire de certaines scènes. Altman mélange les genres comme il mêle les zooms, le téléobjectif, la saturation de l’image.

Dictionnaire des films, Éd. Larousse

Altman's black comedy perfectly expressed the anarchic, rebellious spirit of the 1970s with its blistering anti-war message and contempt for authority
