Miloš Formans Hair (1979) brings the groundbreaking 1960s stage musical to the screen with exuberant energy and bittersweet humanity. Following a young Midwesterner swept into the free-spirited New York counterculture before being drafted to Vietnam, it mixes musical spectacle, romance, and anti-war social commentary. A vibrant portrait of rebellion, peace, and youth on the edge of change.

The film, loosely based on the 1968 Broadway musical Hair: An American Tribal Love-Rock Musical, centres on two men, Claude (John Savage, The Deer Hunter, a naïve young man from Americas Bible Belt and Berger (Treat Williams), the leader of a hippie tribe in New York. Drafted into the army and soon to ship out to Vietnam, Claude spends his last time as a civilian with Berger, learning for the first time about race and class issues in 60s America. He soon meets and falls for Shelia, a rich debutante with a rebellious soul. Welcome to the Age of Aquarius.

The film marked Milos Formans return to directing after winning an Oscar for One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest in 1975 and was nominated for two Golden Globes in 1980.
