Description

Robert Altman found fame in 1970 with "M*A*S*H", the hit comedy about a Korean War medical unit. The 1970s became Altman's decade, a string of masterpieces including "McCabe and Mrs Miller", "The Long Goodbye" and "Nashville", his brilliant ode to America's bicentennial. In the 1980s Altman struggled to fund his brilliant work, but never sold out or went under, and in 1992, "The Player", an acerbic satire of Hollywood, returned him to prominence. The Raymond Carver mosaic "Short Cuts" and the Oscar-winning "Gosford Park" have further cemented his reputation.
