Every time we watch NASHVILLE, we find ourselves asking at the end, “Is this what America is? Are we so quickly and easily sated by spectacle? So desensitized to violence?” And the answer is always: Yes. Of course.
This cornerstone of 1970s American moviemaking from Robert Altman is a panoramic view of the country’s bicentennial-era political and cultural landscapes, set in the nation’s music capital. NASHVILLE weaves the stories of twenty-four characters—from country star to wannabe to reporter to waitress—into a cinematic tapestry that is equal parts comedy, tragedy, and musical. NASHVILLE captures, as no other film has ever done, the full complexity of America—rich with contradictions, rife with neurosis, and convulsed by the celebrity madness of ambition.
But hey, we must be doing something right to last 200 years!
“Is there such a thing as an orgy for movie-lovers—but an orgy without excess? At Robert Altman’s new, almost-three-hour film, NASHVILLE, you don’t get drunk on images, you’re not overpowered—you get elated. I’ve never before seen a movie I loved in quite this way: I sat there smiling at the screen, in complete happiness. It’s a pure emotional high, and you don’t come down when the picture is over; you take it with you.” - Pauline Kael
