McCabe and Mrs. Miller

“Altman's obsession with the myth of frontier life (its destruction, its re-civilization) is a mere backdrop for a struggle that pits the individual against big business. If not the greatest western ever made, McCabe & Mrs. Miller could be the most authentic representation of wilderness life ever put on screen. If the film feels like it's never really about any one thing, it's because Altman wants it to be about everything.”
