Acclaimed filmmaker Robert Altman passed away on the 20th of November at the age of 81, in Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre. Known for his maverick genius and the clever use of black comedy in his films, Altman made films like MASH, Nashville and The Player which, with their wit and wisdom, have held captive generations of cinephiles. For my generation, I think we know him best by Gosford Park and this summer's A Praire Home Companian. His ability to understand and dissect, with great artistic assurance and empathy, the dynamics among people and the nature of their spirits and voices made him one of those auteurs who had their finger firmly on the pulse of their audience. With his death, we have come to an end of an era in American cinema. We will miss him but more importantly, we will remember him for the great visionary and generous soul that he was.
