1975 · Directed by Robert Altman · 160 min
Over a few days in Nashville, a sprawling cast of singers, hangers-on, politicians and dreamers moves through the country music capital while a presidential campaign rolls through town. There is no single hero. The film drifts between characters, songs and overlapping voices, funny and tender and quietly uneasy.
Why it matters in cinema history
A defining film of the New Hollywood era and the template for the modern mosaic narrative. Altman turned a loose, democratic way of making films into a portrait of a whole society.
Watch with intention
Treat the film as a mosaic: stop waiting for a main character and watch how the whole community reveals itself.
