SCAD Cinema Circle: McCabe & Mrs. Miller

In honor of what would have been Robert Altman’s 100th birthday, join us for a screening of one of the maverick filmmaker’s boldest genre experiments and most stunningly realized works. MCCABE & MRS. MILLER reimagines the western as an unorthodox dreamscape, following Warren Beatty and Julie Christie as two enterprising newcomers to a rough Pacific Northwest mining town who build a thriving gambling and prostitution empire—until their success attracts the ruthless gaze of the robber barons. With its deeply human, flawed characters, Vilmos Zsigmond’s evocative cinematography, an intricately constructed frontier town, Altman’s signature overlapping dialogue, and the haunting melodies of Leonard Cohen, this revisionist masterpiece revitalized and deglamorized the quintessential American genre.

An introduction by a SCAD faculty member precedes the screening.

Tickets, part of SCAD Cinema Circle: Goes West, are free for SCAD Card holders; $5 for students, seniors, and military; and $8 for the general public.
