Robert Altman - Softcover

One of the most talented and unique filmmakers of all time, Robert Altman -- with his preference for offbeat characters, experimental techniques, and improvisation -- has produced a succession of artistically outstanding films. From MASH to Popeye, Nashville to The Player, Altman is that rare Hollywood filmmaker who will not compromise his vision. In Robert Altman: Hollywood Survivor, Daniel O'Brien gives a concise overview of the entire career and examines the reasons for Altman's rise and fall from critical acclaim, concluding with the big comeback of the 1990s.
