Glasgow Film Festival Altman

Eternal iconoclast Robert Altman changed the face of American cinema, creating experimental, multi-character films that work against the grain of audience expectation and constantly explode the myths that built a nation. Highlights from his fifty-year career include M^A^S^H (1970), Nashville (1975), The Player (1992) and Gosford Park (2001). Made with the support of the director’s widow Kathryn Reed Altman, Ron Mann’s respectful, illuminating documentary uses extensive archive interviews from actors and family to explore what Altman was really like and what inspired his finest films.
