Robert Altman's surreal, dreamy look into the lives of three women living in a   barren desert town finds the director at his most experimental. Reportedly       shot without a screenplay, the improvisational film centers on Pinky (Sissy      Spacek), a naive girl with an unusual attachment to her co-worker Millie       (Shelley Duvall, in a Cannes-award winning role). Pinky's obsession is         threatened, though, when Millie begins an affair with a married man, whose     wife, Willie (Janice Rule), completes the trio, leading to an unexpected         series of confrontations and role reversals.

From director Robert Altman comes this sharply satirical look at "Buffalo        Bill" Cody (Paul Newman), the legendary Western adventurer.

But when Bill signs Chief Sitting Bull for a featured role in    the show, the reality of this clash of cultures is revealed. Written by Altman   and his protege Alan Rudolph, based on the play Indians by Arthur L.     Kopit.

A dramatic (albeit comedic) change of pace for director Robert Altman, this      National Lampoon-inspired satire follows two carefree teen boys (Daniel    Jenkins and Neil Barry) as they work to make life miserable for the dweebiest    kid in town (Paul Dooley). Altman decorates his story with the gaudy colors    and kitschy trinkets of 80s suburbia, and the star-studded supporting cast     (Dennis Hopper, Jane Curtin, Martin Mull, Cynthia Nixon, Thomas Hal Phillips)  helps enormously. With music by King Sunny Ade and his African Beats. "A         lively, colorful satire" (The New York Times).                           Robert Altman---USA---1987---109 mins.

Maverick director Robert Altman has earned considerable critical acclaim for     his iconoclastic films, which typically utilize large ensemble casts,            sprawling narratives, complex sound designs, and unorthodox riffs on familiar    genre conventions. This collection includes four of Altman's finest works from the 1970s. M*A*S*H (1970, 116 mins.) is a dark military satire, set      during the Korean War but clearly reflecting the mood of the Vietnam era.      Donald Sutherland, Elliott Gould, Tom Skerritt, Sally Kellerman, and Robert      Duvall star. A Perfect Couple (1979, 110 mins.) is a light-hearted       romantic comedy about a couple that meets via a computer dating service. Paul  Dooley, Marta Heflin, Titos Vandis, and Dennis Franz star. Quintet       (1979, 118 mins.) is a stark look at survivors during the final ice age,         beautifully photographed in wintry Canada. Altman's meditation on life and     death stars Paul Newman, Bibi Andersson, and Fernando Rey. Finally, A       Wedding (1978, 125 mins.) is a freewheeling satire on marriage, shot        largely in Lake Forest, Illinois. With Lillian Gish, Carol Burnett, Lauren       Robert Altman---USA---1970-1979---469 mins.
