BREWSTER MCCLOUD
Brewster McCloud (Bud Cort) lives deep within the cavernous underground of the Houston Astrodome, but his dreams rise much higher. He aims to fly — not in a plane but with strapped-on wings he is designing, encouraged by a mysterious woman (Sally Kellerman) who may be his guardian angel. But BREWSTER MCCLOUD, Robert Altman’s wild, anarchic cult favorite, is not about dreams so much as it is about the highs and lows of humanity. It is a serial-killer mystery, a frenetic car-chase flick and a crazy circus-finale comedy. Shelley Duvall, discovered by Altman at a party, makes her screen debut as the tour guide whose seduction of Brewster may lead to his undoing. Ah, love: the thing that at once shapes and unravels us, the thing that may or may not give us wings. (Note adapted from Warner Bros.)
