FEATURING Q&A with SCREENWRITER JOAN TEWKESBURY
This sprawling ensemble drama follows 24 main characters over five days in the country music capital of Tennessee. The narrative weaves through the lives of musicians, fans, and political operatives as they converge for a major political rally. Through a mix of satire and sincerity, the film explores the intersections of the music industry, celebrity culture, and American politics during the mid-70s.Altman and Tewkesbury foresaw an America consumed by the immoralities of showbiz and politics combined, and how that melding would precede a socially self-destructive mindset.
