I hate L.A. All they do is snort coke and talk.
A sprawling ode to the banal everydayness of life in Los Angeles. If Altman was eulogizing a genre in The Long Goodbye, he's going a step further here to declare the magic has long left the city and its people. And it's telling that these are just normal people, going about their business, sometimes crossing paths but never really striking a connection. And even when something big happens, everyone picks up on it, but life simply just goes on.
Watched on 70mm at the TIFF Lightbox. Magnificent 70mm series.
