I'm in shock right now...Robert Altman passed away today. We have lost one of the greatest talents in cinema today. It breaks my heart thinking about his speech, when accepting a Lifetime Achievement Oscar earlier this year, where he spoke about his new heart and new lease on life. I don't think I'll ever be able to watch Prairie Home Companion without crying my eyes out. This man is a legend.
Do yourself a favour and go out and buy an Altman film. Nashville, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Short Cuts, Gosford Park, The Player, M*A*S*H*, 3 Women and The Company are all masterpieces. Glad that he went out on a high note with this year's remarkable Prairie Home Companion.
R.I.P.
