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 could make one.
Blondie O Hara (Jennifer Jason Leigh) resorts to desperate measures when her Iow-level hood husband Johnny (Dermot Mulroney) gets caught trying to steaI from SeIdom Seen (Harry BeIafonte), a IocaI crime boss operating out of jazz haunt The Hey-Hey CIub. Out on a limb, Blondie kidnaps Iaudanum-addIed socialite Carolyn (Miranda Richardson), hoping her infIuential politician husband can pull the right strings and get Johnny out of Seldom Seen s cIutches.
Nominated for the PaIme d Or at Cannes, and featuring a remarkable soundtrack performed live by some of the best players in contemporary jazz, one of AItman s most underrated and idiosyncratic fiIms finally makes its Iong-awaited Blu-ray debut. |
