Description

John Altman—visionary overseer, hard-partying hedonist, odd family guy, Hollywood legend—comes roaring to life in this rollicking cinematic resource, informed in a chorus of sounds that may just be named Altmanesque.His outsized life and distinctive profession are exposed as nothing you've seen prior: below are what of his family and friends, and several opponents, in addition to the brokers, authors, staff members, producers, and celebrities who caused him, including Meryl Streep, Warren Beatty, Tim Robbins, Julianne Moore, Paul Newman, Julie Christie, Elliott Gould, Martin Scorsese, Robin Williams, Cher, and many more. There's actually Altman herself, in the shape of his unique final interviews.After an all-American boyhood in Kansas City, a stint traveling bombers through enemy fire in World-War II, and careers which range from puppy-tattoo businessman to tv director, Robert Altman broke onto the scene in 1970 with the film M*A*S*H. He changed American filmmaking, and, in ten years, created projects at an amazing speed: McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Thieves Like Us, The Long Goodbye, 3 Ladies, and, obviously, Nashville.
