| Gosford Park |
Dir. Robert Altman US 2002
In Gosford Park, Robert Altman, the man who has made a career of
turning genre films upside down, tackles an Agatha Christie-like
murder mystery. Altman has always been interested in the have and
have-nots. Here he focuses on the upstairs/downstairs dynamic
of upper-class Brits who converge at an estate for a
shooting party and the servants who keep the house running
like a well-oiled machine. A comedy of manners and biting
satire of class differences, Gosford Park creates the perfect
melieu for murder. Bottles of poison seem to be everywhere
at the estate and one characters confesses, "we all have something to hide."
The great ensemble cast reads like a Who's Who of British actors
including Maggie Smith, Helen Mirren, Derek Jacobi,
Emily Watson and Richard E. Grant. (137m)
