McCabe & Mrs. Miller / USA / 1971
Robert Altman’s may have established his reputation based on his sprawling, eccentric, multi-character opuses, which seem to garner greater acclaim, but I always appreciate his more intimate pieces that focus their attention on a few main characters. Much like The Player, California Split, 3 Women, and The Long Goodbye, I’ve always considered McCabe & Mrs. Miller to be among my favorite Altman films. Yet unlike the other Altman films that I adore, despite the familiarity that’s created with characters such as John McCabe and Constance Miller, Altman still keeps them very enigmatic, which is perhaps a function of the fact that we don’t really spend an awful lot of time attempting to understand their motivations. In some ways, that mystery is probably why they continue to hold my interest.
