One of the planet's great directors,
Robert Altman,
died today. Altman was in the vanguard of American independent film in the 1970s and continued working up to this year. Altman's massive resume includes classics such as
MASH,
The Player, and
Gosford Park, as well as the innovative TV political mockumentary
Tanner 88 (along with
Doonesbuy's Gary Trudeau). Altman practically perfected the huge-ensemble-cast-with-intersecting-story-lines with
Nashville (which I haven't seen) and
Short Cuts (which I have). He will be missed.
