Book Synopsis Robert Altman's America by : Helene Keyssar

Download or read book Robert Altman's America written by Helene Keyssar and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Altman is the most quintessentially American of contemporary directors. His films cut across virtually all genres, and though few have met with huge commercial success (apart from the blockbuster M*A*S*H), Altman's unique vision of our society, his distinctive directorial signature, and his defiance of conventional film "language" have all helped reinvent the way we look at America. Keyssar shows why it is time for us to consider this unusual auteur among the pantheon of great directors. She identifies the peculiarities of the Altman style, discusses his films from both a feminist and political perspective, and offers a chapter-length discussion of one of his most important films, Nashville (1975), a "gleeful vision of an American landscape perpetually exploding upon itself."--From publisher description
