<P0-S0> A five-time nominee of the Academy Award for Best Director and an enduring figure from the New Hollywood era, Altman was considered a "maverick" in making films with a highly naturalistic but stylized and satirical aesthetic, unlike most Hollywood films. <P0-S1> He is consistently ranked as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers in American cinema. <P0-S2> His style of filmmaking covered many genres, but usually with a "subversive" twist which typically relied on satire and humor to express his personal views. <P0-S3> Altman developed a reputation for being "anti-Hollywood" and non-conformist in both his themes and directing style. <P0-S4> However, actors especially enjoyed working under his direction because he encouraged them to improvise, thereby inspiring their own creativity. <P0-S5> He preferred large ensemble casts for his films, and developed a multitrack recording technique which produced overlapping dialogue from multiple actors. <P0-S6> This produced a more natural, more dynamic, and more complex experience for the viewer. <P0-S7> He also used highly mobile camera work and zoom lenses to enhance the activity taking place on the screen. <P0-S8> Critic Pauline Kael, writing about his directing style, said that Altman could "make film fireworks out of next to nothing." <P0-S9> In 2006, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recognized Altman's body of work with an Academy Honorary Award. <P0-S10> He never won a competitive Oscar despite seven nominations. <P0-S11> His films "MASH" (1970), "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" (1971), and "Nashville" (1975) have been selected for the United States National Film Registry. <P0-S12> Altman is one of the few filmmakers whose films have won the Golden Bear at Berlin, the Golden Lion at Venice, and the Golden Palm at Cannes. <P0-S13> Robert Bernard Altman (February 20, 1925 – November 20, 2006) was an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. <SEP> <P1-S0> Anne Rapp is a script supervisor and screenwriter in the American film industry. <P1-S1> She has worked on more than 50 feature films since 1981. <P1-S2> Her work with Robert Altman in 1999 on the film" Cookie's Fortune" led to her nomination for an Independent Spirit Award and an Edgar Allan Poe Award. <SEP> <P2-S0> " The General Line" was begun in 1927 as a celebration of the collectivization of agriculture, as championed by old- line Bolshevik Leon Trotsky. <P2-S1> Hoping to reach a wide audience, the director forsook his usual practice of emphasizing groups by concentrating on a single rural heroine. <P2-S2> The General Line, also known as Old and New, is a 1929 Soviet drama film directed by Sergei Eisenstein and Grigori Aleksandrov. <P2-S3> Eisenstein briefly abandoned this project to film, in honour of the 10th anniversary of the Revolution. <P2-S4> By the time he was able to return to this film, the Party's attitudes had changed and Trotsky had fallen from grace. <P2-S5> As a result, the film was hastily re-edited and sent out in 1929 under a new title," The Old and the New". <P2-S6> In later years, archivists restored" The General Line" to an approximation of Eisenstein's original concept. <P2-S7> Much of the director's montage- like imagery —such as using simple props to trace the progress from the agrarian customs of the 19th- century to the more mechanized procedures of the 20th—was common to both versions of the film. <SEP> <P3-S0> It portrays small- town Southern life in Holly Springs, Mississippi, where the film was mostly shot. <P3-S1> It was entered into the 49th Berlin International Film Festival, held in February 1999. <P3-S2> Cookie's Fortune is a 1999 crime film/ comedy directed by Robert Altman and starring an ensemble cast, including Glenn Close, Julianne Moore, Liv Tyler, Patricia Neal, Charles S.
