[@ricardovmonteiro]

One of the very best directors of all time. I miss him terribly.

[@tonym994]

fully agree '.thieves like us' was great. saw it in a theater .and' McCabe & mrs, miller'

[@gabrielesimone1372]

My favorite director. Him, Martin Scorsese and William Friedkin are my favorite directors of all time.

[@ThesilkyB]

Overrated as fuck, stop

[@truthdweller3454]

Thankfully, he left behind a full body of work for us to explore and enjoy, working productively right up to the end. I mean, could there be two finer films to end his career with than 'Gosford Park' and 'A Prairie Home Companion'?

[@leoelliondeux]

He looks so menacing wi5 his stoic face and piercing gaze. but when he talks you can feel his humility and tenderness. Great dude.

[@ravishingravi]

Yes indeed. Very sharp features

[@vivekanand5563]

What an amazing interview! It is refreshing to see a (great) director who actually likes his own films, and says he will gladly watch them.

[@MrSebboxxx]

I admire him for his great movies, as "Nashville", "The Player", "Shortcuts", "Three women" and so on ...

[@Polveria]

Thank you so much for Altman's and PT Anderson's Charlie Rose interviews. Altman's voice is a lot more humble than I thought it would be. I thought it would be deeper and darker haha

[@Buffaloc]

'California Split' is my favorite Altman film.

[@truthdweller3454]

Deep cut

[@JayAr709]

McCabe & Mrs.Miller

[@jcmilosmith4622]

He has such brilliant compassion and empathy for other people's gifts. Such magnificent humility should not distract from his filmmaking legend of a most incomparable auteur.

[@nathanmaaka4699]

Greatest director of realism in American cinematic history

[@calogerocarucci9212]

A true master. And his student, Paul Thomas Anderson, would be one of those who would pop up and keep on truckin'

[@ruly8153]

Strange opinion: PTA is overrated

[@carsonwall2400]

@@ruly8153 Definitely, at least in comparison to Altman

[@nectarinedreams7208]

@@ruly8153 PTA began his career as a Scorsese/Altman impersonator making very good but very unoriginal films. But since 2002 I don't know how anybody at this point in time could consider the guy anything other than one of the best American directors of the 21st century, and the fact he writes his scripts only adds to his greatness.

[@n2nother]

The Player is my favorite movie of all time.

[@nickharte5035]

A rare example of an intelligent, cohesive Charlie Rose interview. Obviously, if he likes and is familiar with the subject then we the audience won't need to cringe as he struggles for words.

[@paxwallacejazz]

I want to see "The Long Goodbye". So many films I haven't seen.

[@samnooney]

it may be his best

[@chach868]

god i love mccabe and mrs miller

[@nathanmaaka4699]

Nobody is ringing me up and giving me a cheque......his brilliant ability to bring everything down to earth whether in a movie or in reality is unsurpassed in American cinematic history!

[@Shah-of-the-Shinebox]

Martin Scorsese and Robert Altman are my 2 favorite filmmakers.

[@Neotropix12]

My favourite film! A rich experience.

[@sianwarwick633]

Altman was really one of a kind. Not show-bizzy at all, but if he was, he was never gonna talk about how they all got made

[@chamboyette853]

I do find it hypocritical or revealing how Altman criticizes people for measuring success off of money but he does the same thing for his films. Still like him as a director.

[@auerstadt06]

He lived an alternate life as a mafia hit man.

[@charlesknowlton7198]

Almost all of my favourite directors made mostly box office failures. Robert Altman is one of them.

[@Hollowshape]

0:12 "Nashfull"

[@chel3SEY]

I've never understood why Charlie Rose was so successful. He not only laughs too much but at the worst jokes. And he's an appalling sycophant. He spends too much of his time kissing his guests' asses.

[@igoryankilevich9941]

I love his skepticism of a young Tarantino

[@2HHB]

and my other guest, enormous tv...

[@tinaprivitera6669]

HOW? HOW did Charlie Rose manage to snag so many great interview subjects? The farce of that!

[@stevek6518]

He's such a great interviewer is why

[@sickheadache9903]

John Williams wrote one of his top film scores to Images..a Robert Altman Film in 1972.

[@pfm09]

Why rose keeps interrupting Altman... he has so much interesting to say and we want to hear.

[@Neotropix12]

Rose did a good job imo.

[@LoyalOpposition]

He ALWAYS did that... Very annoying. Many of the times, he had no idea about the person he was interviewing.

[@ThisFinalHandle]

Time for The Player 2 Spotlight on the Ridiculous.

[@cfcreative1]

I want to know what he did in WW2.

[@Shah-of-the-Shinebox]

He was a bomber pilot

[@chamboyette853]

I absolutely hate Charlie Rose (him insisting on the gossip with Warren Beaty does not surprise me). But it is great he had Altman interview. Have respect for Altman.

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

Robert = art 🎨hero 👏

[@rollerhockey69king87]

A class act.

[@jjane454]

Charlie’s questions followed by his own interpretation of what the answers may be - he feels like a want-to-be. The guest has to wait through it. Annoying.

[@James_Bowie]

I'm not a fan of his movies. Altman made an absolute hash of Short Cuts. A flawed idea from the get go and some terrible casting choices (Lyle Lovett).

[@geert574]

all samey misanthrope films. 'Innocence is lost, behold my smug awareness of this' yea sure if u discard a zillion happy moments 😂

[@frazz297]

Altman was a great artist, but his Marxist analysis of the movie industry is tedious. Of course movie execs do not want to finance projects that have no prospect of yielding a return. Why should they? If people want to make art, they can do it on their own dime. Altman talks about greed; is it not greedy to want to use someone else's money to finance your self-indulgent, uncommercial projects? Altman was very eager to get his hands on other people's money, and yet they're the greedy ones? Okay.

[@elyea5928]

“Can we talk about something other than Hollywood for a change?”

[@HarrySwanny29]

Altman isn’t arguing that anybody should get funding. At Kahane’s funeral Altman is revealing that he was a worthless, pretentious writer who didn’t deserve to get his film made. His point about greed is valid, especially when it comes to Larry Levy’s comment about being able to market anything. There’s a balance to making good art that also sells.
