McCabe & Mrs. Miller (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]
Description
This unorthodox dream western by Robert Altman (Nashville) may be the most
radically beautiful film to come out of the New American Cinema that
transformed Hollywood in the early 1970s. It stars Warren Beatty (Bonnie and
Clyde) and Julie Christie (Don t Look Now) as an enterprising gambler and a
bordello madam, both newcomers to the raw Pacific Northwest mining town of
Presbyterian Church, who join forces to provide the miners with a superior
kind of whorehouse experience. The appearance of representatives of a powerful
mining company with interests of its own, however, threatens to be the undoing
of their plans. With its fascinating flawed characters, evocative
cinematography by the great Vilmos Zsigmond (Close Encounters of the Third
Kind, Heaven s Gate), and soundtrack that innovatively interweaves overlapping
dialogue and haunting Leonard Cohen songs, McCabe & Mrs. Miller brilliantly
deglamorized and revitalized the most American of genres. BLU-RAY SPECIAL
