NASHVILLE

A sprawling and prescient depiction of America at a crossroads, NASHVILLE follows numerous characters in the country music capital convening for the United States' Bicentennial. Through Joan Tewkesbury's textured screenplay and Altman's deft hand at balancing his two-dozen characters, NASHVILLE is entertaining, relevant, funny, sad, and jaw-dropping in its ambition. Buoyed by stellar performances from an all-star cast and Oscar-honored songs, NASHVILLE is a creative high point from some of the finest American filmmakers that has lost none of its power.
