Leonard Cohen Tribute 2: McCabe and Mrs. Miller
Length: 120
We continue our tribute to the late, great Leonard Cohen with one of Robert Altman’s greatest films – partially great because of its brilliant use of Songs of Leonard Cohen as its soundtrack.
Charismatic gambler John McCabe (Warren Beatty) arrives in a mining community and decides to open a brothel. The local residents are impressed by his confident demeanor and fast talk, but crafty prostitute Constance Miller (Julie Christie) sees through McCabe’s words and realizes he isn’t as sharp as he seems. For a share in his profits, Mrs. Miller agrees to help plan and run McCabe’s establishment, but soon a powerful company threatens to destroy what they have built up.
Special rare 35mm presentation.
