“Each scene plays out with equal measure given to humor, pathos, eccentricity of character, the unpredictability of life...” – Slant
Directed by Robert Altman.
Director Robert Altman’s humanistic portrayal of a group of rural bank-robbers in the 1930s characteristically tempers its sketch of big-dreaming small timers with an affectionate appreciation of their emotional stakes; especially a tender love story that forms at the heart of the story under the pendulous promise of almost certain violence. Period atmosphere and detail warm this ultimately tragic tale with the glow of nostalgic Americana.
