MCCABE & MRS. MILLER - ROBERT ALTMAN
Details
Directed by Robert Altman
USA, 1971, 2h 1min, 35mm
“The film is time travel, as sensually immersive as any American film of any era.”
—Sight & Sound
“Robert Altman’s best moment, this 1971 anti-Western murmurs softly of love, death, and capitalism.”
—The Chicago Reader
“A mystically beautiful film that also feels rooted in the earth and its bittersweet pleasures.”
—Time Magazine
Dubbed a beautiful pipe dream of a movie by none other than Pauline Kael, Robert Altman’s revisionist Western follows gambler John McCabe as he partners with opium‑smoking madam Mrs. Miller to build a booming enterprise in the Old West mining town of Presbyterian Church — that is, until big business comes to stake its claim. Stars Warren Beatty and Julie Christie ignite the screen with a sensual heat strong enough to melt the snow off a pine tree, set to the haunting lyricism of Leonard Cohen and captured in the intoxicating cinematography of Vilmos Zsigmond. In 35mm.
