The TVI Take
1970 Best Picture nominee. Robert Altman's anarchic comedy set in a Korean War surgical unit.
High cognitive demands from the overlapping dialogue and episodic structure that pioneered Altman's ensemble style. Educational value from its anti-war commentary (really about Vietnam). The chaos is the point — war makes order impossible.
