Nashville. 1975. USA. Directed by Robert Altman. Screenplay by Joan Tewkesbury. With Ronee Blakley, Henry Gibson, Lily Tomlin, Keith Carradine, Barbara Harris, Karen Black, Shelley Duvall. 4K digital restoration by Paramount; courtesy Paramount. 160 min.

From the music capital of the nation, Altman, in one of his career highlights, delivers a kaleidoscopic portrait of 1970s America. The intersecting lives of two dozen characters—music stars of all stripes, tone-deaf wannabe, underhanded politico, insufferable reporter—deliver a disaffected view of show business and its close cousin, electoral politics. Featuring original songs performed live by members of the cast, Nashville got to the heart of American life in all its madcap glory, becoming an instant, freewheeling classic.

This film accompanies Paramount in the 1970s.
