The man’s even had an “esque” attributed to his name! As in: “That film’s very Altman-esque.” No small accomplishment. The man Of course a film starts and ends with clarity of vision, and Altman never doubted himself there. In AFI’s Directors series , he states that he firmly believed that every film he’d...Read Full Story

There was a solid stretch of time during my early goings in film school where I thought that I might be in some trouble. I worried about my disinterest in traditional screenplays or, more to the point, the screenplay itself.

I was only interested in the translation of moments and images from my head to the...Read Full Story

Apparently, there’s a wedding on today. Unfortunately, it’s not A Wedding , Robert Altman’s ace 1978 ensemble piece about all the crazy goings-on that accompany the nuptial process. I’ve only ever seen it once, during a 1996 Channel 4 Altman season. To the best of my knowledge, it’s never been on telly since, and it's never been officially released in Britain on DVD, although you can buy the Region 0 Australian disc. Oh, and it's on YouTube if you're that way inclined (see below for Part 1...Read Full Story
