Examines an under-analysed period of Robert Altman's career
Provides new critical perspectives on the Altman oeuvre Features
original interviews with key Altman collaborators Offers case
studies of Popeye, Tanner '88, Come Back to the Five & Dime,
Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean, Cookie's Fortune and A Prairie Home
Companion, among others Illuminating the industrial, cultural and
aesthetic significance of the later years of one of American
cinema's most influential auteurs, this anthology combines
scholarly essays, original interviews with Robert Altman's
collaborators and previously unseen photographs from the Robert
Altman Papers held at the Special Collections Research Center,
University of Michigan Library. The book considers post-1970s
Altman as a way to rethink and reconceive his authorship, expanding
our understanding of the development of Altman's personal aesthetic
and production practices; his adaptation of existing source
material; the representation of sex, gender and identity in his
films; his relation to the changing landscape of American
independent cinema; and his unfinished projects. Interviews with
key Altman collaborators like Alan Rudolph, Ira Deutchman and Anne
Rapp highlight their contributions to Altman's career. Rather than
place aside the extensive work on Robert Altman to date, this
comprehensive book offers texture and depth to previous ways of
thinking about Altman's creativity and contribution to American
cinema.
