Over 20 Robert Altman films are now on the #Criterion Channel. Pret-a-Porter was almost universally panned on its release in '94. Having watched it with little in the way of expectations, however, I found it a lot of fun. Certainly, coming immediately after The Player and Short Cuts, two of his absolute best, he's allowed some light slapstick and non-profundity. #film #movie #movies #robertaltman

Well, I know what I’m going to be watching most of this month… 23 movies and 18 episodes of Tanner ‘88.

“Born one hundred years ago, Robert Altman made movies that play like the cinematic equivalent of jazz—elastic, improvisational, and thrillingly alive to chance and happenstance... Imitated by many, matched by none, Altman’s films are worlds unto themselves, teeming with more humanity than a single story can contain.”
