From the documentary film "Altman" (2014), directed by Ron Mann. "The very term “Altmanesque” has come to denote a cinematic style characterized by dark humor, chaotic choreography, overlapping dialogue, multi-layered storylines, omniscient cinematography, and a let’s-wing-it ensemble approach to crafting a film." ~ from Just what is "Altmanesque"?
