In this episode of the show we are moving our Altman conversation to the 90s as we discuss his sprawling epic, some would say a tapestry, Short Cuts. Over the course of our equally sprawling conversation you will hear us talk about Altman emerging from the shadows and reclaiming his position as a critical darling, the many reasons why film critics tend to see Short Cuts as one of the best of its year and maybe even the decade, and whether Altman is evolving in this movie or rather applying his tried-and-true methods once again. We also talk about how many vignettes might be too many, Altman as a heavy influence on Paul Thomas Anderson and whether Short Cuts did indeed require to have so many instances of full frontal nudity to get its point across.
Tune in and enjoy!
