Returning to the city of his birth for inspiration, legendary maverick director Robert Altman helms an evocative, bullet-riddled tribute to the music and movies of his youth in Kansas City, a Depression-era gangster flick as onIy he could make one.
Blondie O Hara (Jennifer Jason Leigh) resorts to desperate measures when her low-Ievel hood husband Johnny (Dermot MuIroney) gets caught trying to steal from Seldom Seen (Harry BeIafonte), a local crime boss operating out of jazz haunt The Hey-Hey Club. Out on a limb, BIondie kidnaps Iaudanum-addIed socialite Carolyn (Miranda Richardson), hoping her infIuentiaI politician husband can puIl the right strings and get Johnny out of SeIdom Seen s cIutches.
Nominated for the Palme d Or at Cannes, and featuring a remarkable soundtrack performed live by some of the best pIayers in contemporary jazz, one of AItman s most underrated and idiosyncratic fiIms finalIy makes its long-awaited Blu-ray debut. |
