Celebrate 50 years of Robert Altman’s 1975 magnum opus, Nashville, as part of our Fireworks At The Frida series!
With unforgettable performances from Lily Tomlin, Karen Black, Keith Carradine, Ronee Blakley, and Henry Gibson, the film skips between recording studios, campaign buses, traffic jams, and concert stages—capturing a cross-section of American life that feels both impossibly specific and disturbingly timeless. It’s more than a musical. More than a satire. More than a political drama.
Nominated for five Academy Awards and still a towering achievement in ensemble storytelling, Nashville holds up a cracked mirror to American identity—how we perform it, profit from it, and try to hold onto it even as it slips away.
