ANOTHER FAVORITE QUOTE
"I take my work very seriously, but I don't take myself very seriously." —Robert Altman
Yes, "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" is perfection, including the Leonard Cohen soundtrack, and the palette and texture.
"Nashville" up there too...
I had a bit speaking role in TV show he directed in '96 (in a scene with Randy Quaid where I was a gay southern photographer). His only direction to me was to ignore the script and "just say some photographer stuff!"
Robert that is so cool. And K I agree. One of the most heartbreaking scenes in any movie is the scene on the little wooden bridge with Keith Carradine (I think it was him). God, just thinking about it is heartbreaking.
I saw few of the movies he made during and after the 90's but "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" is very high up there in my Top 10 of all-time favorite films.
ReplyDeleteAnd when I watch "The Long Goodbye" I feel I'm seeing Los Angeles in the 70's as some people really lived it.
