I didn't know that Altman was able to make something like 3 Woman, it has Lynch and Bergman vibes. So versatile.

What’s Lynch got to do with it? Bergman for sure but probably best mentioning Nic Roeg in this context. Also, Lynch copied Bergman and Persona so no point mentioning his name.

I'm a fan of Robert Altman films. I came across your video while I was trying to find info and commentary on his overlapping dialog technique, and I am SO glad I found your video! I'm just a movie fan, not a filmmaker, but I am very interested in the technical side of filmmaking. You've done a wonderful job with this piece! I really liked it. Very good. Your narration is excellent. Thank you so much for putting this out there. I will share this video with some friends. By the way, I was born in the Montrose area in Houston in 1963. My family and I lived in a really cool big house on Stratford Street ( it's not there anymore), so when Altman was filming one of his scenes for Brewster McCloud it wasn't very far from where we lived. My dad took me with him to watch a scene being filmed. I remember seeing the character of the old man with the long hair in the wheelchair going down a ramp from the house and hitting a car door that was parked on the curb in front of the house. I was about 6 when that movie was being made. That was Stacy Keach playing Abraham Wright. Later, I saw a paperback book on the making of the movie Brewster McCloud, I think my mom had the book. But it turns out there's a picture from the set where I am there! I'm a little blurry. But it's me. Lol. I don't know where my copy of that book is right now, I need to look for it. I think Robert Altman is in the shot, and maybe Sally Kellerman. Anyway, it's just fun for me to see that knowing that later I became a big fan of his films.

I have one more thing to add to my comment above, I wanted to say I'm so glad that you put that quote by Robert at the end of your video. It really moved me. I love that he was saying that the work should be enjoyable! That is absolutely true. And his case for it to be enjoyable, it was controversial and there were some conflicts at times, and it was unusual. But later people came to really appreciate him and his wonderful style.

Such a great video. So many moments where you’ll say my exact thoughts. I just recently got into Altman and am only a third through his filmography. There isn’t too many essays on Altman, so it’s nice to see one thats as well made as this one.

Great and useful video, but I think it could use making the music a bit quieter, as it overshadows your narration sometimes
@Pete-hm5gw26 күн бұрын
I had to stop watching because the low end of the music was just too overpowering :(

What’s David Lynch got to do with it? Lynch copied Bergmans Persona. Better off mentioning Nic Roeg as influence in terms of this film, but Bergman main inspiration.

Great essay! Any idea where you find the treatment excerpt for 3 Women?
@viewfinder.channel2 ай бұрын
Thanks very much! The specific excerpt from this video was pulled from the book ‘Altman’ by Kathryn Altman & Giulia D'Agnolo Vallan. It was also referenced in interviews with Altman, which you can find online and in the book ‘Altman on Altman’.

At the end of the long goodbye to me it was a stretch that the main character killed his friend, it take me out of the movie
