Robert Altman

Finally got around to seeing Altman, the 2014 DVD documentary by Ron Mann on the great unconventional American film director. Well-done, with scenes from many of his films. Numerous interviews with Altman, his wife Kathryn Reed, and actors who worked with him. There is also rare footage from early t.v. work in addition to several home-made movie clips. He followed in Orson Welles’, Alfred Hitchcock’s, and Ingmar Bergman’s footsteps (as did Woody Allen, too) in making independent movies in the auteur style. Quite an entertaining and insightful expose of how Altman worked and his style. Highly recommended for serious film fans.
