Altman finally made a movie that's 100% side plot.
KlonJul 8, 2026I really admire just how much Robert Altman beats to his own drum. Where most people would say 48 characters is too many, he says watch me. Most would say that’ll be impossible to shoot and edit, and yet he once again finds a way. Altman’s aesthetics feel inimitable for…

FabianThe enjoyment I felt watching this movie was tempered a little bit by the sour thought that this kind of movie can no longer be made. Looking at this movie 37 years after it was made is like being a miserable medieval serf looking up at the Roman aqueducts. They used to…
