Insuperable retrato de la sociedad norteamericana de los años setenta a través de la música country. "Nashville" ha sido considerada unánimemente como una de las diez mejores películas norteamericanas de los años setenta. El film supuso la primera obra coral de Robert Altman, a pesar de que en "MASH" ya se movió entre numerosos protagonistas, y alcanza un nivel de calidad en la filmografía del director al que sólo se le acerca "Vidas cruzadas". "Nashville" es un mosaico épico de cinco días en la vida deveinticuatro personajes en la capital mundial de la música country. Se recurre a la música country para realizar una sátira de la sociedad americana. El filme gira en torno a la industria discográfica centralizada en esta ciudad. Allí una serie de personajes de la más variada condición se entrelazan a lo largo de la acción para dar una visión colorista y anárquica de los aspectos más vistosos del pueblo americano.

A powerful demonstration not only of one filmmaker's filmmaking abilities but also of how it is possible to make fun of America and still be American. It's unbelievable how many characters there are and how they stick together. Their fates intertwine, all in the spirit of country music, yet you can feel that something is wrong in the background and that nothing is working. It’s well shot.

The plot can be characterized in one sentence, but it can take a whole evening to fully grasp it. And you are not mistaken, two and a half hours of country music - and two and a half hours of Nashville is a fascinating film. There's no noble boredom or episodic social critique here, as Altman's work is sometimes referred to. Here, it really is enough to just open your eyes.

In Altman’s classic fresco, the city of Nashville is shown as an absurd world of dreams, ambition, power, desires, broken hearts and tragic fates, as well as populated by people with all of their dark and light sides and difficult life stories. The brilliance of the film’s narrative consists in the fact that it manages to encompass and interweave a tremendous number of characters and locations, while constantly drawing in and fascinating viewers. The basis for this is the excellent screenplay, which takes an absolutely empathetic approaches to all of the characters in the country milieu, whether fallen or beautiful, even if it doesn’t avert its gaze from the shadowy and absurd aspects of their lives and personalities.
