Robert Altman has died. He lived a life longer than expected considering past health issues, including the need for a heart transplant ten years ago. He never compromised, which was a trait rarely found in Hollywood. I had hoped that Altman could be coaxed by Ebert to come to the film festival next year. Of course, now I guess I should be glad if Ebert is able to make it.
Altman made many great films. His oeuvre included so many films overall that I have not seen half of them. That is good, since it means I will have many opportunities to discover more great ones. Unlike with most directors, with Altman there is always that chance.
