Robert Altman's McCabe & Mrs. Miller : reframing the American West
"When he died in 2006, director Robert Altman left a rich legacy of films, but many would agree that his crowning achievement was McCabe & Mrs. Miller, a daring downbeat film about a gambler and a prostitute. Robert Self now provides an illuminating new look at this long-neglected classic. Placing the film within the contexts of Altman's career, its critical and popular reception, and the history of American cinema, Self shows how Altman's idiosyncratic interplay between story and style reframed the American West for a new generation."--Jacket
