California Split

SELECT SHOWTIME BELOW TO PURCHASE TICKETS
Friday June 2
9:00pm
Director: Robert Altman
1974 / 108min / DCP

Los Angeles magazine scribe and occasional poker player George Segal finds himself developing a full-blown addiction to games of chance when he’s drawn into the orbit of freewheeling professional gambler Elliott Gould in Altman’s shambling comic portrayal of self-destructive male camaraderie and the monomaniacal pursuit of an adrenaline high, which follows the pair through ups and downs, from Tijuana to Reno. “At the end of California Split we realize that Altman has made a lot more than a comedy about gambling; he’s taken us into an American nightmare.”—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
