Saw it again the other day and... totally underwhelmed. Way too busy with the overlapping dialogue, hyper-kinetic cutting style, and over-the-top sound track. I mean, how many minutes of crappy singing by mediocre actors can you stand? Sorry, but I ran the opening singing in the studio part at x8 after the first run through.
I'd say Taxi Driver and Vanishing Point covered the same ground in a far superior manner. This film came after the massive critical successes, and justifiably so, of MASH, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, and the now terribly forgotten The Long Goodbye.
Altman had a rough 15 or so years after Nashville.
Pret a Porter, The Player, Short Cuts, and Gosford Park re-established Robert as one of our best.
