Robert Altman‘s films don’t date particularly well. To these eyes the classics from his major period (1970-’75) look more diminished as the years go by. I’m really not a hater, I used to be a fan! Anyway, after Short Cuts he really began to mail it in. To give Altman his due, actors adored him and he continued to direct movies even after a heart transplant. A truly astonishing feat.
