Criterion Collection 2024 Releases: MCCABE & MRS. MILLER (Spine No. 827) 

Another great review Daisuke. This is a masterpiece. Glad I waited on the 4K

I’ve never seen this film, so I can’t comment on the quality itself, but it’s nice to hear your thoughts on this film. I’ve heard quite a bit about it over the years. Thank you for the video Daisuke, I hope you’re doing well. Have a great rest of your day and take care!

Great review, Daisuke. You really beautifully describe the phenomenological experience of 4K vs 1080p video quality in this video -- one of the most evocative descriptions of the differences i've heard before

McCABE AND MRS. MILLER is arguably the epitome of the revisionist Western, and one of the seminal films of the American new wave cinema of the late sixties and early seventies. I saw this at the theater when I was in high school. Robert Altman was peaking as one of the nation's most important filmmakers because he was really expressing the attitudes of the time. Little did audiences know what was to come in the next few years: THE LONG GOODBYE, THIEVES LIKE US, CALIFORNIA SPLIT and NASHVILLE, which was followed by another revisionist Western, BUFFALO BILL AND THE INDIANS, OR SITTING BULL'S HISTORY LESSON, which was not a success, but still reflected the times brilliantly. Altman contributed considerably into making the 70's one of the greatest decades in American film history. As always, it was interesting listening to your impressions of this terrific (North) Western.

Such a great film. Picked up the new release but opted for the DVD.

Altman was on an unstoppable run then. his work from MASH to Nashville, few filmmakers have had a 5 year run like that.

If I was stranded on an island as was given a choice of being able to take all the movies a particular director directed in a specific decade with me, I think I would go with Altman in the 1970s. He directed a whopping 14 movies in that decade. They're of so many different genres, and all interesting in their Altman-esque way.

I remember watching this on the Criterion Channel some time ago. I wasn’t totally concentrating on the movie so maybe I will watch it again. But I remember that my initial impression of it was that it was very weird and unpleasant and tedious. I did not like it.

I've got poetry in me!
