BUFFALO BILL AND THE INDIANS, OR SITTING BULL'S HISTORY LESSON - LE

Sale

(Robert Altman, 1976, 124/105 mins)

Release date: 14 December 2020 (OOP date: 30 October 2023)
Limited Edition Blu-ray (UK Blu-ray premiere)

An all-star cast – including Paul Newman, Burt Lancaster, Geraldine Chaplin, Joel Grey, Harvey Keitel, and Shelley Duvall – assembles for Robert Altman’s follow-up to his 1975 critical success, Nashville. Swapping the country-and-western scene for Buffalo Bill’s ‘Wild West’ shows of the late nineteenth century, the film is another of Altman’s pitch-perfect satires, offering a sidelong glance at the myths of America.
