A revelatory return, ReFocus places scholarly studies of Altman’s late career into dialogue with new interviews of Altman collaborators. Exploring Altman as the director, producer, and businessman who so expertly juggled "cash, cast, calendar," Dombrowski and Wyatt’s collection is a must-read for anyone interested in late style and independent film.
