Sharp, brutal and groundbreaking - Robert Altman's classic M*A*S*H is not just another war film.

Set during the Korean War, this iconic satire is undeniably a commentary on the Vietnam War and the absurdity of military bureaucracy. With a loose style, black humour and improvisational flair, Altman forever changed the tone of American cinema.

The story follows three army doctors - Hawkeye, Trapper and Duke - trying to cope with the horror of war in a mobile field hospital with sarcasm, booze and unorthodox behaviour. Balancing masterfully between comedy and criticism, M*A*S*H manages to pack a deep social critique in a light-hearted tone.

The film marked not only director Altman's breakthrough, but also the beginning of a long-lasting cultural impact: from a Golden Palm at Cannes to the immensely popular TV series that followed.
