Weaving together the stories and interactions of twenty-four major characters with astonishing fluidity, this audacious, epic vision of America through the lens of the Nashville music scene circa 1975 has lost none of its freshness or excitement.
Taking place over five days, the film follows our characters struggling for fulfilment, both personal and professional, amongst a backdrop of country and gospel musicians, outsider political campaigning, and the peripheries of life in between, building from one encounter at a time to create a wide-ranging tapestry of rich drama and human comedy.
The 5.1 surround sound mix at SARC elevates Altman's famous signature use of overlapping, scattered dialogue recorded live during production and adds staggering depth, range, and a "vérité aura" to the sound, making the dialogue clear and the songs really “pop”.
