How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
Robert Altman's sly deconstruction of American mythology unfolds with deliberate oddness, treating the Wild West spectacle as a stage for philosophical sparring between Bill Cody and Sitting Bull over who controls the narrative of history.
