Refocus: The Later Films and Legacy of Robert Altman

Moving beyond Robert Altman’s early film career, ReFocus turns to the active, though critically overlooked, last 25 years of it. Each chapter teems with new takes and perspectives. A must for anyone interested in independent cinema, and for those who find Altman’s work as innovative and observant as the director himself was. * Caryl Flinn, University of Michigan *
This book is admirably conceived and carried out [...] an exemplary collection of academic essays. Highly recommended. -- S. C. Dillon, Bates College * CHOICE *
A revelatory return, ReFocus places scholarly studies of Altman’s late career into dialogue with new interviews of Altman collaborators. Exploring Altman as the director, producer, and businessman who so expertly juggled "cash, cast, calendar," Dombrowski and Wyatt’s collection is a must-read for anyone interested in late style and independent film. * Chris Holmlund, Professor Emerita, University of Tennessee-Knoxville *
