Near masterpiece...forerunner of Deadwood series!!!
26 July 2019
Robert Altman never get the respect from the producers, due him was so rebel, in this period of time since "M.A.S.H." until "Thieves Like Us", was a true fertile phase, after that he never got a succeeded career, therefore McCabe & Mrs. Miller gave to Bob an high acknowledgement from the critics, This picture wasn't a usual western, is quite different, no heroes, no gunfights, no romance, it's display to us how was the western on those hard times, a little town on northwest of US's territory, living for early mining and around countless suppliers selling goodies, tools, liquors, Chinese cheap labors and the main and a essential, many prostitutes to relief those tough and lonely workers, McCabe and Mrs. Miller were partner on this profitable business, somehow appears someone to buy it by any means, fabulous near masterpiece, Warren Beatty and Julie Christie were incredible, this picture was the forerunner of successful "Deadwood" series, both have the same cold environment and approaching , outstanding production that became a cult movie, despite overlooked on release time!!
