Nashville

Brilliant. Altman manages to make an almost 3 hour film about 23 or so characters in Nashville over the course of 5 days. I almost didn't see the film because I hate country music, but I decided to give it a chance. I ended up loving it! The music wasn't bad at all ("I'm Easy" won Best Original Song at the Oscars) and the songs seem to be making fun of themselves (Karen Black and Henry Gibson at the Grand Ole Opry especially). All the acting is good, direction is (of course) superb and the film is never boring. If you asked me what this movie means, what the point is, etc etc I couldn't tell you. All I can say is I've seen it at least 20 times and I've been blown away each and every time. If at all possible see this on a wide screen (like I do, at a revival theatre) or letterboxed. That's the only way to see it--the full screen version on TV is unwatchable. Whatever you do, don't miss it! A true classic of the '70s.
