What is pretentious and/or artsy about the Nashville cover? It's actually quite clever - an American flag with the stars (sorry) representing the stripes. The cover captures the film cleanly and concisely: an ensemble piece about America(na).

I'm sorry but it just comes of as artsy. I do agree that it does convey what the film is about but still... I just prefer the original poster over these indie/hipster art we keep getting.

I typically agree, but to be quite honest, I'm disappointed right now that Criterion isn't selling that artwork as a poster on their website. I love it.

'Artsy' being used as a negative. Weird.

As someone who loves the film, the cover art is absolutely fantastic and fits perfectly.

Just found and watched tvtv's documentary on the 1976 academy awards that featured Lily Tomlin, Ronee Blakely, Lee Grant and Goldie Hawn....that put me in the mood for NASHVILLE.....and now it's coming......YES!

I agree with the disliking of recent Criterion cover art (this one not necessarily as much as others). City Lights and Badlands are especially disappointing in my esteem. The image Criterion was using for City Lights' cover on their Hulu channel was much, much better. Ah well...

Still, it's the movie for which I buy the disc and, in that regard, Criterion can NOT be beat! I will happily ugrade my DVD of this come December!
