Editorial Review: Product Description: People with varied motives cross paths during a political rally in nashville. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 05/23/2006 Starring: Keith Carradine David Arkin Run time: 159 minutes Rating: R Director: Robert Altman Amazon.com essential video: This 1975 film sits near the top of any list of the best films of the 1970s, perhaps in the top five and, in some people's minds, at the pinnacle itself. Robert Altman, at his most Altmanesque, spins together plot strands involving two dozen people over the course of one particularly busy weekend in Music City, USA. Though several of the story lines deal with country-western stars--played by Henry Gibson, Ronee Blakley and Karen Black--the plot also deals with the country scene's wannabes, the business people who pull the strings and the operative for a mysterious presidential candidate who is trying to get the de facto endorsement of some of the country stars by having them appear at a rally for him. (The unknown but rocketing presidential aspirant was eerily echoed the next year, when Jimmy Carter came out of nowhere to win the presidency.) Blakley is heartbreakingly fragile as a Loretta Lynn-like singer on the verge of total mental meltdown, while Lily Tomlin is outstanding as a housewife-gospel singer who has a dalliance with a randy folk-rock cad, perfectly played by Keith Carradine (who won an Oscar for his song "I'm Easy"). The cast also includes Jeff Goldblum, Scott Glenn, Keenan Wynn, Shelley Duvall, Geraldine Chaplin (hilarious as a fatuous British TV journalist), Barbara Harris, Michael Murphy, and Ned Beatty, with cameos by Elliott Gould and Julie Christie as themselves. Next to Mean Streets, perhaps the most influential film of the decade. --Marshall Fine Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of Altman's Great Films! This film is an amazing classic done in the classic Altman style. A hodge podge of singers and performers crowd the movie to provide a feeling of what Nashville may be like, the country western capital of the world. The little dramas of its many characters bring together threads culminating in an assassination. Of course, in the music business fame is fleeting. Another rises to take their place. An amazing film that would never get made today. Rating: - Amazing Film, Decent DVDNashville is by far one of the best films ever made. It's a difficult, funny and inventive look at the country music scene in the 70s (from an outsider's perspective, which makes it all the more engrossing). This bare bones DVD could've been better. Why Short cuts has a criterion edition and this doesn't, one will never know. Rating: - I agree with the good and bad reviewsAll criticisms I've read about Nashville on this site and others seem to be right. And I doubt you can find many people around these days who would give this film the time of day. But as a 20 year old I find this film fascinatingly weird, I try to view it through a 1970s audience members eyes and I can see how this would be engaging at the time seeing how nothing like this was ever made before. Also see how it could be enraging because I have grown up around hardcore country music fans who ... Read More Rating:  - A great movieAt last, I've seen the classic Robert Altman film from 1975. As always, flawless in direction, acting, vision. I suppose some viewers might say it's slow getting started, but in fact he's painting a portrait of a time and place. There's a reason this guy won so much acclaim, all the awards and nominations, and the freedom to basically just do whatever he wanted. Rating: - GiftI purchased this as a gift for my dad. He enjoys the movie. It arrived quickly and in good condition. Browse for similar items by category:
