Synopsis

Hair (1979) is Miloš Forman's musical you can watch online on iFILM. Claude trades his Oklahoma ranch for New York after a draft notice arrives: boot camp and Vietnam are waiting. In Central Park a band of long-haired hippies, led by the magnetic Berger, pulls him into their orbit.

The few days before he ships out spin into chaos. Songs erupt in the middle of the street, there's acid, mounted cops, and a stuffy society party the tribe storms with a tabletop dance number. Claude falls for a debutante played by Beverly D'Angelo. Treat Williams turns Berger into pure restless energy, while John Savage gives Claude the quiet confusion of an outsider who doesn't quite belong.

Forman adapted the landmark 1967 Broadway show, with choreography by Twyla Tharp and numbers like "Aquarius" and "Let the Sunshine In." Under all the color sits a sharp argument about the cost of the war, and the ending lands like a punch. Stream Hair (1979) online on iFILM.
