SUMMARY:M*A*S*H / Brewster McCloud
DESCRIPTION:Admission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be 
 assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are 
 assigned on a first come\, first served basis. The box office opens one 
 hour before the event.\n \n\nM*A*S*H\n\nU.S.\, 1970\n\nWhere the standard 
 war film presents the humble army squad as a cross section of American 
 life\, in M*A*S*H\, Robert Altman zeroes in on the privileged class on the 
 front lines. It’s a genre tweak as essential as Altman’s stylistic 
 liberties to his take on the absurdities of war. The bad boy antics that 
 made 4077th’s trio army surgeons (Donald Sutherland\, Elliott Gould\, Tom 
 Skerritt) anti-heroes in the 1970s read ever more clearly in Altman’s 
 whiplash juxtapositions of the bloody and the bawdy as evidence of a larger 
 moral failure at work. \n\n35mm\, color\, 116 min. Director: Robert Altman. 
 Screenwriter: Screenwriter: Ring Lardner Jr. With: Donald Sutherland\, 
 Elliott Gould\, Tom Skerritt.\n\nPreserved by the Academy Film Archive in 
 partnership with Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation in 2000.\n 
 \n\nBrewster McCloud\n\nU.S.\, 1970\n\nRobert Altman’s countrified 
 screwball comedy celebrates the oddballs living secretly in the heart of 
 1970s conservative America. An engineering marvel when it opened in 1965\, 
 the Houston Astrodome is the clandestine home where waifish Brewster 
 McCloud (Bud Cort) works obsessively\, with the help of Sally Kellerman’s 
 doting guardian angel\, on a winged contraption with dreams of flight. 
 Outside\, every pathology of American life — racism\, sexism\, greed — 
 runs rampant in the parade of caricatures and buffoons that populate 
 Altman’s urban Texas\, some of whom end up victims of a serial killer 
 also on the loose. It’s a delirious hodgepodge of social commentary and 
 countercultural trip that also marks Shelley Duvall’s big screen debut. 
 \n\n35mm\, color\, 105 min. Director: Robert Altman. Screenwriter: Doran 
 William Cannon. With: Bud Cort\, Shelley Duvall\, Sally 
 Kellerman.\n\n—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm\n\nJoin Meeting:
