Lasje

Lasje 1979

Film temelji na kultnem broadwayskem muzikalu iz 60. let prejšnjega stoletja in govori o mladeniču iz Oklahome, ki pride v New York. Spoprijatelji se s skupino hipijev in se zaljubi v bogato dekle. Toda njuna sreča je kratkega veka. Šestdeseta leta prejšnjega stoletja so bila v zahodnem svetu divja in turbulentna. Muzikal "Lasje" je odličen odraz tega in izvrstno ujame živahen duh, ki je bil značilen za "vodnarjevo dobo". Začne se s predstavitvijo Clauda, mladeniča iz Oklahome, ki prispe v New York. V Centralnem parku sreča skupino hipijev in takoj je jasno, da imajo drugačne poglede na življenje in politiko. Claudova odločitev, da se bo pridružil vojski, je namreč v nasprotju s hipijevsko filozofijo miru, ljubezni in nenasilja. Njegova seznanitev z drogami pa še dodatno okrepi kulturni šok, ki ga doživlja. Hipije vodi vpadljivi Berger, ki na prestižni večerni zabavi zapleše na mizi in se tako posmehuje elitizmu ter odraža uporniški duh tedanje dobe.
