50th Anniversary Screening

Presenting a beautiful 4k Restoration of this American Masterpiece!

We are celebrating the 50th anniversary of NASHVILLE with this 4k restoration of director Robert Altman’s 1975 sprawling masterpiece, NASHVILLE. Fifty years ago, on the eve of America’s bicentennial, Altman – one of the greatest artists to ever make motion pictures – shattered conventions with this epic musical satire. Set in Nashville, Tennessee over a three-day period, it traverses the intersecting pathways of a sparkling, eclectic group of dreamers. Starring Lily Tomlin as a gospel singer mothering two deaf children, Ronee Blakley as an ingénue starlet burning so brightly she’s falling apart, and Karen Black as her rival. In the background, Keith Carradine shows out as a country music cad. There are 24 characters in this movie – and 27 songs! Everyone’s wanderings converge at a political rally for a never-seen third party candidate. Nominated for 11 Golden Globes – a record it still holds – and 5 Oscars, NASHVILLE is a sprawling tour de force and both an homage to and a send-up of 1970s America… and everything that comes after.
1pm and 7pm.
