HealtH

Robert Altman, USA 1980, 105’
Old Boyfriends The Player

A health-food conference is being held in a Florida luxury hotel. The conference is set to culminate in the election of their new chairman. HealtH has become an ironic summary of the era of counterculture and a foreshadowing of a new decade of neoconservatism.

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.
