Review of Nashville (1975) by Danny R — 12 Jan 2013
Robert Altman's stunning cinematic mosaic, is a bold work of art commenting on the American dream, while focusing on Nashville, the dream center and cultural capital of country music. A work of amazing audacity and prodigious talent by the late great director Robert Altman.
Its an odyssey of 24 different characters and their experiences during a period of several days at a Nashville political rally, this masterpiece is full of cogent character studies, comic and poignant vignettes, done in unique engrossing style.
The performances from its extraordinary ensemble cast is remarkable, they include: Henry Gibson, Barbara Baxley, Ned Beatty, Karen Black, Keith Carradine, Geraldine Chaplin, Shelley Duvall, Allen Garifield, Scott Glenn, Jeff Goldblum, Barbara Harris, Keenan Wynn, and two brilliant Oscar nominated performances from Ronee Blakley and Lily Tomlin in her screen debut, that proves that she is a tremendously gifted actress.
Chosen as best picture of the year by the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Society of Film Critics, and received 5 Academy Awards nominations including Best Picture and Best Director Robert Altman.
Won Best Original Song 'I'm Easy' by Keith Carradine. A fantastically entertaining American classic from the mid 70s. Highly Recommended.
