[Press release from Cleveland Cinemas.]
The
Capitol Theatre (1390 W. 65th St., Cleveland) will present two
classic films by director Robert Altman starting Friday, September 11th
in honor of their anniversaries. Oscar-winner NASHVILLE will be back on the big screen for its 40th
and POPEYE returns for its 35th.
With a cast of 24 characters
whose lives are intertwined through multiple storylines rather than a single plotline, NASHVILLE was unlike any
other film when it was released in the summer of 1975. Set in an election year
as a third party candidate is organizing musical talent for a rally, NASHVILLE’s themes of celebrity culture
and politics are as timely today as they were when the film was originally
released.
