Nashville with Ari Aster in person

Dir. Robert Altman. 1975, 159 mins. U.S. DCP. With Lily Tomlin, Ronee Blakely, Gwen Welles, Shelley Duvall, Keith Carradine, Ned Beatty, Barbara Harris, Jeff Goldblum. The peak of Altman’s prolific career was this panoramic view of American life circa 1975, set in the nation’s country-music capital. Cramming his wide screen with the comings and goings of a 24-character ensemble, Altman creates an incredible, cacophonous entertainment, equal parts comedy and tragedy, featuring terrific original songs and an unforgettable ending. Perhaps never has another film captured the simultaneous horror and hilarity of modern American living than this singular masterpiece, which remains as galvanizing and astute—and irresolvable—as ever, a rollicking kaleidoscope that gradually becomes a depiction of encroaching political violence.
