Twenty years after the death of their idol in a car crash, the Disciples of James Dean hold a reunion in the "5 & Dime" store of a small Texan town. Now mellowing into their middle thirties, the five women drift into an extraordinary session of reminiscence and revelation about their hero... and themselves. There's no need to hide anything any more, not even for Mona, who claimed to be the one "chosen" to bear Dean's child... Hailed as a masterpiece of film making, Altman's latest work is distinguished by some of the finest performances ever seen on the screen. The Press were unanimous and unstinting in their praises:- "SANDY DENNIS IS SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT" Nigel Andrews FINANCIAL TIMES "CHER... IS A REVELATION" GIRL ABOUT TOWN "A STUNNING PERFORMANCE FROM KAREN BLACK" Derek Malcolm THE GUARDIAN
