His ability to explore and engage so many different worlds with a single, coherent vision changed the landscape of cinema forever. This signature \"Altmanesque\" style is, in the words of Martin Scorsese: \"as recognizable and familiar as Renoir's brushstrokes or Debussy's orchestrations.\"Now, the Altman estate opens its archive to celebrate his extraordinary life and career in the first authorized visual biography on the iconoclastic director. Altman, by Altmans widow Kathryn Reed Altman and film critic Giulia DAgnolo Vallan, brims with photographs and ephemera, many culled from private family albums, and personal recollections of the director. Alongside the intimate illustrated story is a complete visual, historical, and critical narrative of Altmans films and his process.To honor the Altman trademark of using a wide cast of characters, Altman also features contributions from his collaborators and contemporaries including Frank Barhydt, E. L. Doctorow, Roger Ebert, Jules Feiffer, Julian Fellowes, James Franco, Tess Gallagher, Pauline Kael, Garrison Keillor, Michael Murphy, Martin Scorsese, Lily Tomlin, Alan Rudolph, Michael Tolkin, and Kurt Vonnegut Jr.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOrders are despatched from our UK warehouse next working day.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51328053772576,"sku":"NEW1419707779","price":50.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71RVKAApfGL.jpg?v=1773178507","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/altman-1419707779","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
