The Long Goodbye

Introduced by Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke 

This screening is part of An Evening with Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke, whose new film Honey Don’t! will be shown prior

Dir. Robert Altman. 1973, 112 mins. DCP. With Elliott Gould, Nina van Pallandt, Sterling Hayden. With the playfully unlikely casting of anti-heartthrob Gould as private eye Philip Marlowe, Altman’s film is both a satire of and an homage to the world of Raymond Chandler, a neo-noir classic that transplants the novelist’s languid vision of Los Angeles to the 1970s. Coming right in the middle of a hot streak for Altman—amidst M*A*S*H, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, and Nashville—The Long Goodbye is a shaggy work of art, buoyed by cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond’s lusciously seedy visuals.
