Nashville (DVD)

Nashville (1975) starring Henry Gibson, Karen Black, Ronee Blakley, Keith Carradine, Geraldine Chaplin, Lily Tomlin, Michael Murphy, many more. Directed by Robert Altman. Giant jigsaw puzzle of a movie features a couple of dozen lead characters, all of whose paths cross continuously. Set in Nashville, it blends the music scene with politics, circa 1975, with often hilarious results. Now seems a little dated. Main drawback of film is length, at two hours and forty minutes. The subtitles are excellent. Grade: A-
