Altman Diaries

Recently I've emerged myself into all things Robert Altman. With each movie I grow more and more sad of his demise. Still, watch more Robert Altman! Yeah you've probably seen the big/more recent stuff - Gosford Park, M.A.S.H, Nashville etc. but here's five more you should check out.

1 - Ready-To-Wear: The humour in this movie is definetely unique and refreshing. Also, it's cool to see al the wicked fashion from the 90's
2- The Player: With tons of cameos you'll find yourself saying "hey that guy!" but don't let that overpower the brilliantly self reflexive plot and the inspiring cinematography.
3 - 3 Women: I've said it before, it's a weird film, but in the best way.
4 - California Split: You can't help but love Elliot Gould in this movie, with all his sceems to win and all his short comings he still remains so resiliently positive.
5 - Short Cuts: more to come on this gem later!
