Robert Altman's Brewster McCloud is a 1970 avant-garde black-comedy fantasy film starring Bud Cort and Sally Kellerman. This movie is one of Altman's lesser known works but it's famous for being the feature debut of character actress Shelley Duvall.
Brewster McCloud is a very strange film. The plot is random, the characters aren't too deep, the humor's flat-out weird (and sometimes digusting), and it's weirdly sexual. Despite that it's a rather clever satire on two-faced people (even though it takes place in a past era). All of the characters in this movie (including the protagonist himself) are jackasses who think that they are good people when they are actually not (I personally loved that one marijuana-smoking police officer character who accused the protagonist for possessing illegal marijuana!). Also the soundtrack's quite nice.
The biggest drawback to this movie is that, you have to watch this movie at least two or three times in order to understand the movie's plot and subject matter. If you're okay with that then I recommend this to anyone who loves surreal movies.
