KANSAS CITY

Iconic American artist Robert Altman (NASHVILLE, MCCABE & MRS. MILLER, 3 WOMEN) weaves this bullet-riddled tribute to the Thirties jazz and crime films of his youth. In a post-THE PLAYER / post-SHORT CUTS career moment, Altman gave KANSAS CITY another of his trademark stacked cast of actors having the time of their lives. Jennifer Jason Leigh, Harry Belafonte, Steve Buscemi, Miranda Richardson, Dermot Mulroney and Jane Adams all resort to desperate measures while an impeccable jazz session rocks the The Hey-Hey Club nonstop. Altman gives equal treatment to this live multi-camera jam and the period-piece gangsters, creating a rare noir concert film.
