Nashville

Robert Altman

A kaleidoscopic swirl of Americana which marks the peak of his style. We meet some 20 characters centered on the country music scene in 1975 and get a picture...a snapshot in time...of where this country stood on the eve of its bicentennial.

The film is bitterly satirical, sometimes funny...mocks pretension and self-importance and the entire celebrity culture. It remains relevant...maybe even more relevant today. An accomplished work of a master.
