Warren Beatty co-produced, co-wrote, directed, and starred in this bizarre and often very moving takedown of the American political system and Clinton-era Democratic machine, in which he plays a blubbering, suicidal, lunatic senator who plans his own assassination and spends the days leading up to it doing whatever he wants. Approximately 100 of the 2,000 release prints were made using the revamped IB Technicolor process, which makes full use of cinematographer Vittorio Storaro’s expressive color palette.
