This cornerstone of 1970s American cinema from Robert Altman is a panoramic view of the country’s political and cultural landscapes, a complexly textured portrayal of America’s obsession with celebrity and power set in the nation’s music capital. NASHVILLE weaves the stories of twenty-four characters, including 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 organize a concert rally for an unseen presidential candidate, into a cinematic tapestry that is equal parts comedy, tragedy, and musical. Many members of the astonishing cast (which includes Lily Tomlin, Keith Carradine, Ronee Blakley, Karen Black, Shelley Duvall, Henry Gibson, Scott Glenn, and many more) wrote their own songs and performed them live on location, adding another layer to the film’s quirky authenticity. Altman’s ability to get to the heart of American life via its eccentric byways was never put to better use than in this grand, rollicking triumph, which barrels forward to an unforgettable conclusion.
