I have a block when it comes to Robert Altman movies.

Yeah, given that this was the film that literally introduced Altman's talent as a filmmaker to the world, I'm not surprised to know that many have mentioned MASH as their 'favourite Altman'. I've read good things about the sit-com too, and would sure love to watch it as and when I get my hands on it.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-54774597968297939332011-07-15T01:05:24.948+05:302011-07-15T01:05:24.948+05:30"Controversial, anti-establishmentarian and u..."Controversial, anti-establishmentarian and unapologetically in-your-face, this superb black comedy gleefully mocked at the utter ludicrosity of not just the Vietnam War but all wars in general."<br /><br />Indeed Shubhajit. It's was a landmark in this sense, as well as the film that rocketed Robert Altman to lasting fame. It is often mentioned by many as their 'favorite Altman' and it helped to launch one of the most popular American sit-com comedies of all time, one that continues to prosper in re-runs to this very day. The film was even nominated for the Best Picture Oscar in 1970.<br /><br />Terrific capsule assessment!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
