Altman’s sprawling epic satire about the Nashville country music scene remains a delightful, toe-tapping masterpiece. Set during the presidential campaign of a mysterious populist candidate, the musicians, promoters, and locals navigate the quirky cultural landscape in this love letter to Music City. With a massive cast of 24 characters, multiple storylines, and over an hour of musical performances, Altman’s NASHVILLE is a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience.
