Description:

McCabe and Mrs. Miller (Criterion Collection)

This unorthodox dream western by Robert Altman may be the most radically beautiful film to come out of the New American Cinema. It stars Warren Beatty and Julie Christie as two newcomers to the raw Pacific Northwest mining town of Presbyterian Church, who join forces to provide the miners with a superior kind of whorehouse experience. The appearance of representatives of a powerful mining company with interests of its own, however, threatens to be the undoing of their plans. With its fascinating flawed characters, evocative cinematography by the great Vilmos Zsigmond, innovative overlapping dialogue, and haunting use of Leonard Cohen songs, McCabe & Mrs. Miller brilliantly deglamorized and revitalized the most American of genres.

This unorthodox dream western by Robert Altman (Nashville) may be the most radically beautiful film to come out of the New American Cinema that transformed Hollywood in the early 1970s. It stars Warren Beatty (Bonnie and Clyde) and Julie Christie (Don't Look Now) as an enterprising gambler and a bordello madam, both newcomers to the raw Pacific Northwest mining town of Presbyterian Church, who join forces to provide the miners with a superior kind of whorehouse experience. The appearance of representatives of a powerful mining company with interests of it's own, however, threatens to be the undoing of their plans. With it's fascinating flawed characters, evocative cinematography by the great Vilmos Zsigmond (Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Heaven's Gate), and soundtrack that innovatively interweaves overlapping dialogue and haunting Leonard Cohen songs, McCabe & Mrs. Miller brilliantly deglamorized and revitalized the most American of genres.
The Criterion Collection presents "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" on Blu-Ray, a landmark revisionist Western directed by the legendary Robert Altman. This 1971 classic stars Warren Beatty as John McCabe, a mysterious gambler and entrepreneur, and Julie Christie as Constance Miller, an astute brothel madam. Set in a snowy Pacific Northwest mining town at the turn of the century, their partnership is tested by love and ruthless corporate interests. The film is celebrated for its atmospheric cinematography by Vilmos Zsigmond and evocative Leonard Cohen soundtrack. Criterion Collection is renowned for its meticulous restorations and insightful supplements that honor cinematic artistry. Their releases are prized among cinephiles for quality presentation and scholarly extras. Warren Beatty has been acclaimed both as an actor ("Bonnie & Clyde," "Heaven Can Wait") and director ("Reds").

Director Robert Altman revolutionized American cinema with films such as "Nashville," "M*A*S*H," and "Short Cuts." Cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond received accolades including an Oscar for his work on ?Close Encounters of the Third Kind.? Together, these talents crafted one of cinema?s most poetic Westerns.
