Title: Another mess by Robert Altman
Review: Robert Altman fans are like "Velvet Underground" fans: There are only about 500 of them around, they fanatically defend the object of their adulation, they insist that their love is the source of inspiration for everything that came out after them in their respective venues (rock music/film), even when no one else has even heard of them, they find the lack of technique as intentional and laudable, they seem to admire pointlessness. Does anyone really think the man who made "Popeye" is a genius? Everyone I know hated this film - and not because of some perceived attack on capitalism (which I think you need to have a wild imagination to see in this film) but because it seems so pointless, boring, downright pretentious. It is a grade Z art film.
Is the review positive or negative?
