review 1: This book really captures the spirit of Robert Altman, or at least the spirit that is conveyed through his work. Like any good book on cinema, it makes one want to watch the films. I wouldn't call the book entirely complete, its emphasis is on biography and Altman's way of working with actors, with little said about camerawork and technique. Still, I breezed through the 500 or so pages in two days, enjoying every minute.
review 2: An inspiring book about one of the most inspiring of all filmmakers. And the oral biography was a great way to handle the life of a director known for his giant ensembles and their overlapping dialogue. But what I really loved about the book was that it was not so much about the buts and bolts of the films... but about the kind of m... morean it took to be the filmmaker he became.Highly, highly recommended. less

Decent oral biography of the man, but suffers by not really going in-depth on some of the work.

Maybe the single most inspiring book I've ever read. Failure comes as easily as success.
