Criterion Channel is now streaming a collection of Robert Altman films, so I decided to start a thread on these films. Stylistically, Altman is probably most famous for features many different characters in his films and the use of overlapping dialogue, where characters talk over each other (which often occurs in real life). I should note that not all of these films have these qualities. If Altman’s films do possess features that are present in all his films, I don’t know what they are, but I hope to discover them as I watch these films.
