Twenty-five years ago Robert Altman’s “Nashville” was going to change the world of movies. “Here was an artist putting the machinery of popular culture to work for the sake of art, yet entering into the spirit of popular culture and partaking of its energy too. That was the dream: the power of popular art combined with the complexity of fine art, high and low not at war, and not blurred indistinguishably into each other, but embracing.” What happened? “Jaws” captured the audiences, and the rest is history. – Salon 06/27/00
