Slaughterhouse-Five (1972)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 104m
Director: George Roy Hill
Cast: Michael Sacks, Ron Leibman, Valerie Perrine

Synopsis:

Billy Pilgrim is 'unstuck in time', wandering between his life as an unhappily married optometrist in up-state New York, his time spent as a G.I. during the firebombing of Dresden, and being put on display by the inhabitants of the planet Tralfamadore. Suddenly, everything makes sense to him.

Review:

Incredibly brave of Hill/Universal to put on film Kurt Vonnegut's cerebral novel. The film is, like Catch 22, a folie de grandeur, full of ideas, and with the budget to give them impressive visual clothing; thus, what you get is not the book but a guided tour of it.
