UW Cinematheque: Robert Altman - Five Masterworks

After painting the enormous canvas that was Nashville, writer/director Altman shifted gears to make a personal film adapted from his own dream. The bizarre and often very funny story (which sometimes resembles Bergman’s Persona) follows Shelley Duvall, Sissy Spacek and Janice Rule as they play a strange game of identity transfer in a small California desert community.
