Robert Altman’s 1975 film Nashville follows a large cast of characters involved in the country and gospel music industry in Nashville, Tennessee. The film centers on the five-day period leading up to a gala concert for a populist outsider running for President on the Replacement Party ticket
Featuring a striking mosaic-style narrative with innovative sound design, an hour’s worth of musical numbers, and memorable performances from an outstanding ensemble cast that includes the likes of Jeff Goldblum, Shelly Duvall, and Lily Tomlin, Nashville is one of Altman’s masterworks. Ambitious in scope and imbued with a biting satirical sensibility, this prescient classic is not to be missed on the big screen.
Director/producer Paris Barclay will join Patrice Petro, Dick Wolf Director of the Carsey-Wolf Center, for a pre-screening discussion of the enduring legacy of Nashville. Guests are invited to join us in the Michael Douglas Lobby of the Pollock Theater for light refreshments following the event.
