From Cigs & Red Vines, excerpted from
Variety's review (http://variety.com/2014/film/reviews/film-review-altman-1201223844/):

But in a bold formal stroke, he asks each of these subjects - elegantly photographed in medium closeup against a black background by Mann and DP Simon Ennis - only a single question: to define, in their own words, the term Altmanesque.
