Catch-22 (1970) BOOKS VS FILM
Manage episode 321375982 series 2982355
Welcome to DEATH BY ADAPTATION, a bi-weekly book club where we choose one classic book and compare and contrast it against its cinematic adaptations.
In this episode, we discuss one of the most beloved satirical pieces of anti-war fiction: Joseph Heller's CATCH-22, and Mike Nichols' 1970 adaptation. We talk about the grey morality of war, the impeccable filmmaking craft on display, and the thin line between satire and farce.
