Ronee Blakley and Henry Gibson
starstarstarstarstar
Robert Altman's triumph is one of the best American movies of the 70s and one of the most complex, expertly constructed narratives ever. Sprawling over two and one-half hours and never flagging, it successfully introduces and exposes 24 different characters, brilliantly critiquing the country music industry as a microcosm of American society. Ronee Blakely, Keith Carradine and Lily Tomlin and a cast of thousands star. Read the complete review for Nashville

  • Ask FlickChick: Were Nashville's actors really singing, and more... | Ask FlickChick | 3/6/2008
    Ask FlickChick: Did the actors in Nashville really do their own singing? Plus, What movie is this and more questions answered!Question: I recently saw Nashville for the first time and have two questions. First, the end credits for the songs seem to indicate that most of them were actually sung by the actors and actresses rather than dubbed. Were they really singing the songs? If so, they sounded pretty good to me. Second, maybe I missed something, but why was the singer shot at the big rally -- what did the shooter have against her? Thanks -- Marty. FlickChick: Not did the cast of Robert Altman's Nashville (1975) -- who, with the exception of Ronee Blakely, had little or no professional music training or experience -- perform their songs, but many wrote them as well. And almost without exception, they're terrific. For me, the only truly unconvincing performer is Lily Tomlin, who plays white gospel singer Linnea Reese. She just plain can't sing, and putting a genuine gospel choir... read more
  • Mad Men Rocks; Nashville Doesn't | Roush Dispatch | 9/14/2007
    Favorite line on any show I've seen all week: "Peggy, this isn't China. There's no money in virginity." That's Joan talking, the sexiest secretary in all of '60s New York advertising, once again stealing a scene in AMC's dazzling Mad Men with aplomb. Christina Hendricks, I salute you.It was another intensely enjoyable episode this week, which also grew my estimation for the performance of January Jones (what a name) as Don Draper’s quietly simmering, drop-dead-gorgeous Grace Kelly look-alike wife, Betty. How happy was she when, at intermission at Broadway’s Fiorello!, the ad guy wooing Don to jump agencies to the big time offered her a chance to get back into modeling (with the pause that refreshes). How fooled were we that this was just another ploy to lure Don away from “the tiny store” of Sterling Cooper? Not very. And neither was Don fooled. Betty, however? Very fooled. And very crushed when the opportunity vanishes once Don turns them down.Who can blame her... read more
  • DVD Tuesdays: Nashville — It's Not Just About Music | Ask FlickChick | 11/20/2006
    I love talking about movies, but I've never been able to organize movie-night get-togethers. So this is the next best thing: On Tuesdays I'm going to spotlight a DVD and suggest some virtual-discussion starters.As I was watching Bobby last week (a movie that, by the way, I like rather better than most reviewers, its reach outstrips its grasp, but isn't ambition a good thing?) I couldn't keep my mind off Robert Altman's Nashville (1975), a model for successful multistrand narratives. It's one of my favorite films ever; I saw it when it opened at a now-vanished theater called the Baronet, I showed it regularly during the five years I taught film history/theory/criticism, and after all those viewings it retains the power to chill me with its distillation of the heart-wrenching gulf between ideals and actions, between dreams and the grubby day-to-day reality of making it from sunrise to sunset without drowning in the troubles of the world. I know what you're thinking: You don't really... read more
