Plot:
Iconoclastic director Robert Altman (Nashville, M.A.S.H.), deconstructs and demythologizes Hollywood's typically romantic vision of the Old West in this haunting, breathtaking masterpiec...( read more

A film that truely sticks with you after a few viewings. Lovely performances from Beatty and Christie. The cinematography from Vilmos Zsigmond is one of the best in that field. Let's not forget about those Leonard Cohen's songs. A great revisionist Western from one of the best, Robert Altman.
Märklig, annorlunda, vacker och välregisserad western signerad Robert Altman. Kännetecknas av snyggt bleknat foto av mästerfotografen Vilmos Zsigmond och för Altman typisk överlappande dialog. Passar väl in i den amerikanska subjektivismen med sin realistiska syn på den tidsepok som alltför oftast inom amerikansk film skildras med överdriven machoism och glamour. Här finner man istället karga miljöer, kalla människor, förvirring och en rejäl dos pessimism. Warren Beatty har sällan (om någonsin) varit bättre och hans samspel med vackra Julie Christie är häpnadsväckande.
One of Altman's best and I think Roger Ebert described this film best "Perfect", dammit he was right. Julie Christie is stupendous.
I agree with the viewer who said that this movie should be seen in a theatre. I can see how some would find it slow/boring/dreary, but a strong element of the story is one character's opium use, so of course there are going to be woozy, dreamy images that trail off into seeming dead ends. But the performances and settings are just right, and Altman's famous penchant for overlapping dialogue really works this time. Also his brilliant use of character actors. I think the makers of the HBO series "Deadwood" really studied this film extensively. You wouldn't believe that Leonard Cohen's early songs could fit into a Northwestern gold rush/boomtown kind of story, but they do so here, unforgettably. And speaking of unforgettable: the last 10 or 15 minutes.
moody, atmospheric, altman draws one of the best western communities ever seen on film, the good, the bad, and the ugly, w/o the over-the-top music score to drown out the bare nakedness of existence. one of his best in my book simply because nobody seems to try to put in an oscar worthy performance...a film much like the the old and beat up doll a child might carry around too, too long...
