Editor's Notes

Note

S-Tier Criterion 4K. Altman's anti-western with Warren Beatty and Julie Christie. The film is famous for looking and sounding terrible, which is intentional. Altman applied a muddy effect to the image and the audio is notoriously hard to hear. The Criterion 4K is actually the first time it's looked properly filmic in all its grimy glory. A popular comfort movie, weirdly enough, despite the murky sound.
