Suffers from overlength; also a serious effort at moody photography which backfires into pretentiousness.
Full reviewWarren Beatty and Julie Christie are the titular leads in Robert Altman's western - described as Altman's "perfect" movie by Roger Ebert - playing a gambler and a prostitute with a common interest that makes them business partners. Features a soundtrack of songs by Leonard Cohen. The film wasn't particularly well received on release, but over time has become known as a classic of 1970s American cinema, and named the eighth best Western ever by the American Film Institute in 2008.

Full reviewA pioneering film, in both senses of the word, and one of the key works in the American cinema of the 1970s.
