@888johngalt I think that's part of the greatness of the movie. It is hard to convey in cinema how overwhelming the landscape of the American West (including British Columbia) can be in daily life. It took London, which has virtually the same climate, a couple of millenia to outgrow its landscape and climate.
Incredible opening to an amazing film. Every actor was believable as they were given opportunity to improvise. Warren Beatty & Julie Christie together again....and of course, the voice of Leonard Cohen.
@pedonbio Well I'm europian so I don't really have no idea. But okay.
My point was that it's one of the best westerns ever and the landskape is totally something different apart from the usual. You know, Texas, desert and stuff. :D
"Like any dealer he was watching for the card that is so high and wild he'll never need to deal another." Beautiful! My favorite Western of all time. It's amazing that the songs preceded the film by four years; they sound like they were written for it. But then the mood of the songs (which Altman had known for years) may have influenced the mood, the tone, and even the tempo and look of the movie.
Echoing a lot of the other posters here it still can't be said enough what a haunting masterpiece this is. Altman perfectly blends perfect casting with devastating photography by the stupendous Vilmos Zsigmond and a lovingly haunting score by Leonard Cohen. This is one of the greatest motion pictures EVER made and should be held well above many, many other films that are always getting praised. Overpraised is you ask me.
Hey, do you own this movie? Cause I'd very much like to hear the French versions of his songs. I remember renting it a long while ago and hit the French audio by accident, but to my surprise all the songs in the movie were redone in French!
That guitar solo in the middle is fabulous, one of the best you will ever hear.
McCabe and Mrs. Miller is one of the greatest movies ever made.
Cohen's soundtrack had a lot to do with making it such a haunting movie. See it in a theater and you can't get the movie or the music out of your mind.

Amazing film with a beautiful soundtrack by Mr Cohen. The series Deadwood owed a lot to McCabe and Mrs Miller

@lyylski Actually, the story is set in Western Washington. Most of the filming was done in British Columbia, next to Washington.

This film opening which I saw on a cold winter morning in London was my first introduction to Leonard Cohen.
