Description
Robert Altman In the American Grain by Frank Caso provides an in-depth analysis of the film director's artistic method and distinctive style. From his early days in industrial film to his work in television and feature films, Caso explores the innovations that have made Altman a master filmmaker. The book identifies over twenty key elements in Altman's style, including his use of free-hand cameras and engagement with Christian imagery, tracing their development from the beginning of his career. By examining these aspects, Caso sheds light on the unsettling mix of offbeat comedic tone and violence that characterizes many of Altman's films. Enriched with illustrations throughout, this book will appeal to fans of Altman's work and anyone interested in groundbreaking cinema.
