McCabe & Mrs. Miller

“he was just some Joseph looking for a manger” this is literally Red Dead Redemption. I love the story of Kubrick calling Altman and grilling him on how he exposed the flame when McCab’s lighting the cigar on the bridge in the opening scene and asking how he knew it was right, (this was before digital camera monitors existed) and Altman just being like “idk I just assumed it was right and got lucky”. the film stock was soaked in whisky, piss and mud. Warren Beatty being a juggernaut and bleeding charisma for over 2 hours straight with an authentically, immersive atmosphere that you can smell. perfect Leonard Cohen needle drops. this is an all timer.
