Robert Altman - Nashville
This essential of '70s cinema follows 24 unique characters through 5 days in the country music capital. Among the various stars, aspirants, hangers-on, observers, and media folk are a politically ambitious country icon and his fragile star protégée, a self-absorbed rock star who woos a lonely married gospel singer, a talentless waitress painfully humiliated at her first singing gig, a runaway wife with dreams of stardom, and a campaign guru who is trying to organise a concert rally for an unseen presidential candidate. Robert Altman's Oscar-winning epic presents a complexly textured portrayal (and critique) of America's obsession with celebrity and power.
