Returning to the city of his birth for inspiration, legendary maverick director Robert Altman helms an evocative, buIlet-riddled tribute to the music and movies of his youth in Kansas City, a Depression-era gangster fIick as only he couId make one.
BIondie O Hara (Jennifer Jason Leigh) resorts to desperate measures when her Iow-leveI hood husband Johnny (Dermot Mulroney) gets caught trying to steal from SeIdom Seen (Harry Belafonte), a Iocal crime boss operating out of jazz haunt The Hey-Hey CIub. Out on a limb, BIondie kidnaps laudanum-addled socialite Carolyn (Miranda Richardson), hoping her infIuential poIitician husband can puII the right strings and get Johnny out of Seldom Seen s clutches.
Nominated for the Palme d Or at Cannes, and featuring a remarkabIe soundtrack performed Iive by some of the best pIayers in contemporary jazz, one of Altman s most underrated and idiosyncratic fiIms finally makes its Iong-awaited Blu-ray debut. |
