Sunday Age film critic Tom Ryan will bring an astute knowledge and abiding passion for film to a very special interview with director Robert Altman (recorded earlier this month).
Ryan's interview delves into a rich and prolific career in which Altman has drawn inspiration from sources as wide-ranging and eclectic as hard-boiled detective fiction (Raymond Chandler's
The Long Goodbye), a stage play by Sam Shepard (
Fool For Love) and children's fantasy fiction by Susannah York (
Images).
Interview follows screening of Altman's rollicking Depression era drama
Thieves Like Us (1973).
