Brewster McCloud
1970. USA. Directed by Robert Altman. Screenplay by Doran William Cannon. With Bud Cort, Shelley Duvall, Sally Kellerman, René Auberjonois, John Schuck. An introverted young man hiding in the Houston Astrodome, under the protection of a guardian angel, dreams of flying on artificial wings—until he is brought down to Earth by a sexual encounter with a featherbrained girl. This Fellini-inspired comic allegory, an unlikely follow-up to the success of MASH, was among the director’s favorites. 105 min.
