Beautiful looking movie. I read the book when I was about 12 so decades later it was startling to remember how weird it is and how much sense it still makes. And the themes of absurdity and profiteering and desperation and even, improbably, hope or at least little crazy glimpses of humanity in war time are frighteningly timely.

It was especially worth hearing the Nichols/Soderbergh commentary. They don’t make weirdo anti-war movies like this with this kind of production budget no more.

Plus every actor you know from the early 70s is in this movie.

Read the book instead.
