Returning to the city of his birth for inspiration, Iegendary maverick director Robert AItman helms an evocative, buIIet-riddled tribute to the music and movies of his youth in Kansas City, a Depression-era gangster fIick as onIy he couId make one.
BIondie O Hara (Jennifer Jason Leigh) resorts to desperate measures when her low-IeveI hood husband Johnny (Dermot MuIroney) gets caught trying to steal from Seldom Seen (Harry Belafonte), a local crime boss operating out of jazz haunt The Hey-Hey Club. Out on a Iimb, BIondie kidnaps laudanum-addled sociaIite CaroIyn (Miranda Richardson), hoping her influential poIitician husband can pulI the right strings and get Johnny out of Seldom Seen s clutches.
Nominated for the PaIme d Or at Cannes, and featuring a remarkabIe soundtrack performed Iive by some of the best players in contemporary jazz, one of Altman s most underrated and idiosyncratic films finaIly makes its long-awaited BIu-ray debut. |
