Nashville
Introducing a complicated narrative style that would find many imitators - a reflection on politics, show business, culture and the celebrity worship syndrome plaguing the entire country - Altman tops off his personal brand of contemporary cinema (the very definition of genius) with a masterful representation of American life that remains timely to this day.
Robert Altman's long-term obsession with redefining movie genres while constantly experimenting with their potential and limitations, would inevitably lead him to a new celluloid world theory, like the one encapsulated in "Nashville".
Purposefully taking place on the eve of the elections in the birthplace of traditional American music, this seminal film broke every filmmaking convention as it shattered the action into a million little pieces. Following the lives of 24 different characters, it combines incompatible elements, such as sociopolitical metaphor, musical, satire and drama and completely ignores any inkling of a conventional plot.
Introducing a complicated narrative style that would find many imitators - a reflection on politics, show business, culture and the celebrity worship syndrome plaguing the entire country - Altman tops off his personal brand of contemporary cinema (the very definition of genius) with a masterful representation of American life that remains timely to this day.
