(Robert Altman, US 1975, 160 min., DCP)
Thought by many to be the director’s masterpiece and hailed as the “best film of 1975” by both Roger Ebert and Leonard Maltin, Altman’s musical epic offers revealing glances into the inner workings of both the American electoral process and the recording industry. A massive cast—which includes Ned Beatty, Shelly Duvall, Lily Tomlin, and Keith Carradine (who won an Oscar for Best Original Song with “I’m Easy”) — and a compelling array of intertwining story lines drive this satirical romp to an unforgettably lavish, and deadly, musical climax that continues to excite and captivate audiences.
