STORY:
Joseph Heller's novel was one of the seminal literary events of the 1960s, but Mike Nichols's film ultimately proved too literal in its attempt to bring Heller's fragmented fiction to the screen. Still, Nichols, who made this on the heels of The Graduate, seemed the ideal candidate to tackle this Buck Henry adaptation. The story
deals with bomber pilot Yossarian (Alan Arkin), who has flown enough missions to get out of World War II but can't because the number of missions needed for discharge keeps getting raised. The satire and absurdity of Heller's book get lost in Nichols's effort to give screen time to the members of his all-star cast, which includes Orson Welles, Jon Voight, Bob Newhart, Anthony Perkins, Richard Benjamin, and Martin Sheen, among others.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Der Film schildert die Begebenheiten um den Bombenschützen Joe Yossarián während seiner Zeit auf dem USAAF-Stützpunkt auf der besetzten Mittelmeerinsel Pianosa im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Die Umstände werden als grotesk und menschenfeindlich geschildert, Yossarián versucht von den Feindflügen freigestellt zu werden, was ihm aufgrund der absurden Argumentationskette „Catch-22“ nicht gelingen kann. Schlussendlich schafft er die Flucht, indem er wahnsinnig wird.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1944, une base américaine en Méditerranée. L'article 22 de l'US Air Force, stipule que seuls les pilotes atteints de maladie mentale peuvent échapper aux missions dangereuses. Or pour faire une demande de dispense, il faut être sain d'esprit si bien que l'article reste incontournable. Les aviateurs prennent donc leur mal en patience, succombant à leurs manies et à leurs obsessions, en attente d'une nouvelle mission suicidaire…
