Robert Altman
Films from one of the most distinctive and audacious American directors.
Off the American filmmakers who found success in the 1970s, Robert Altman was the most distinctive and audacious. With a remarkable string of '70s features, Altman proved himself an influential innovator – experimenting with multitrack sound, overlapping dialogue, complex compositions and camera movements, large casts and freewheeling narratives – and a canny critic of American society and the myths that country perpetrated through movies. Throughout his career, he continued making fresh, intelligent, thought-provoking films, many of them genuinely great, all utterly his own.
