McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971) Trailer Directed by Robert Altman http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067411/ Starring Warren Beatty, Julie Christie Music Leonard Cohen (non original songs)
@bohren the snow was real, but it most of what you see in the final scene was an optical effect. that used footage of real snow and mixed it up with the original footage. that's why it looks it little odd.
Tarantino was so busy listening to his own ego in the opening scenes of the film that he failed to notice how seamlessly the music of Leonard Cohen fit the template and the palette for the unfolding development. This movie will eventually be hailed, universally, as the masterpiece it is.
Altman flash exposed the film stock which gave it that faded, dream-like look that is the hallmark of the movie.... as if you're peering through a scrim at a faded photograph from the turn of the century. Very special.
It's as if the affecting Cohen tunes were turned into a film, they fit so well. Altman liked a sense of place, eh? The story seems as authentic as the template of Presbyterian Church with it's cedar trees and woodsmoke and the wind bringing winter to autumn. Miners trudging a muddy street to and from their brief comforts of drink and whores, under that unforgiving sky. A vision of the past through an old window glass. It's near the top of the very best films.

@spagandtuna Just the rain as atmospheric device. It defines the movie until the snow starts, and Cohen's music has the same atmosphere.
