A beautiful tribute to an artist who created some of our favorite films, and a film that will make you appreciate Altman’s great work all the more, Ron Mann’s biographical doc traces the idiosyncratic career path of iconic director Robert Altman, charting a filmography that spanned over fifty years and earned him five Oscar nominations. Assembled with the help of Altman’s widow Kathryn and a wealth of home movies, archival interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage, Mann’s film lets Altman tell his story largely in his own words, giving a rare insight into the mind of a moviemaking maverick whose uncompromising vision shaped the American filmmaking landscape for decades to come. The film is topped off by cameos from many of the faces that Altman collaborated with over the years-including Elliott Gould, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Lily Tomlin-as they answer one question: What is Altmanesque? In Person: Director Ron Mann and Kathryn Altman.
