Kansas City

You're in 1934 Kansas City, swinging between jazz clubs and backroom deals when one mobster's wife gets snatched. The city's political boss and a vengeful tenor player collide, trading bullets and barbs while the city's chaos hums around them. Altman lets the city itself command the frame, its neon glow and humid air lingering long after the gunfire stops.
