A grossly underseen western if ever there was one, McCabe and Mrs. Miller is also bleak, haunting and undeniably brilliant. Directed by the legendary Robert Altman, the film sets out to eschew the established tropes of the western genre, turning them on their heads to create this dark, visually stunning masterpiece. Please: watch it.
