Nashville

Robert Altman, USA 1975, 159’
Thieves Like Us Buffalo Bill and the Indians or Sitting Bull's History Lesson

A chronicle of four days in the life of America’s country music capital – Nashville. The city draws capricious, often talentless stars, cynical musical producers, politicians seeking support, and above all, famehungry performers ready to agree to any humiliation.

Robert Altman

Distinguished director, screenwriter and producer Robert Altman was born in 1925 and died in 2006 having made several dozen cinema and television films. The breakthrough in his career came with the anti-war satire MASH, in which he presented a community in typical Altman style that characterises his very best work – based on episodic narration and innovative montage of image and sound. Altman often uses irony to show how society’s traditional roles, social conventions and cultural myths condition people.
