Directed by Robert Altman • 1970 • United States
Starring Bud Cort, Shelley Duvall, Sally Kellerman
Brewster McCloud (Bud Cort) lives deep underneath the Houston Astrodome, but his dreams rise much higher. He aims to fly. Not in a plane, but with strapped-on wings he’s designing—encouraged by a mysterious woman (Sally Kellerman) who may be his guardian angel. But BREWSTER MCCLOUD, Robert Altman’s wild, anarchic cult favorite, isn’t about dreams as much as it is about the highs and lows of humanity. It’s a serial-killer mystery. A frenetic car-chase flick. A crazy circus-finale comedy. Shelley Duvall makes her striking screen debut as the tour guide whose seduction of Brewster may lead to his undoing.
