Prologue to a Project: a project for Cinema Stripped Down

Who is Robert Altman? He is among the most inspiring filmmakers who ever lived. He has altered generations of film making with his unique stylistic approaches. 

Our goal is to watch every Robert Altman film, to review them and rank them. For this director we have split up the load. Half of the films will be reviwed by Wilbert Takken, the other half by Timothy Andersson. This is done to lighten the load (as Altman has an equal amount of bad films to good ones).

Here is his complete filmography that we will be reviewing:

Countdown, 1967 Timothy Andersson
That Cold Day in the Park, 1969 Timothy Andersson
