Watch Altman online free on WeStream

Maverick. Author, rebel, and trailblazer. Storyteller. A rambler and a gambler. Man with a deranged mind. He's a family man. Actor, director, and artist Robert Altman's life and work were a kaleidoscope of experiences. A lasting imprint was left by this pioneer of independent cinema in the United States, not only on the development of his art form but also on the zeitgeist of Western civilization. "Altman," a new documentary by Canadian director Ron Mann, analyzes and celebrates the epic fifty-year redemptive journey of one of the most important and influential filmmakers in the history of the medium: Martin Scorsese (aka "The Godfather"). Mann's Altman is a dynamic and heartfelt meditation on an artist whose expression, passion, and appetite knew no bounds. Mann's Altman makes extensive use of rare interviews, representative film clips, archival images, and musings from his family and most recognizable collaborators, among other sources.
