Altman's idiosyncratic vision and propensity for formal experimentation resulted in an uneven body of work: some rank failures and intriguing near-misses, as well as a number of great films that are among the most influential works of New American Cinema. While Altman always professed to have nothing authoritative to say about the state of contemporary society, this volume surveys all of his major films in their sociohistorical context to reposition the director as a trenchant satirist and social critic of postmodern America, depicted as a lonely wasteland of fraudulent spectacle, exploitative social relations, and unfulfilled solitaries in search of elusive community. 410 0$aDirectors' cuts. 606 $aPERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / Direction & Production$2bisacsh 615 7$aPERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / Direction & Production. 676 $a791.430233092 686 $aAP 44983$2rvk 700 $aNiemi$b Robert, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01222843 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150257203321 996 $aThe Cinema of Robert Altman$92836795 997 $aUNINA
