An average movie

To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick but since I didn’t like it much the first time around, I highly doubt that I will give it a second chance. Basically, Robert Altman had troubles with the Hollywood studio system in the 1970s after some of his films lost money despite the critical praise they received. He still continued to work outside the studios in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, often doing small-budget projects to keep his career alive and thanks to the ‘The Player’ , one of my favorite movies, he managed a comeback to making films in Hollywood. His follow-up, ‘Short Cuts’, was another massive critical hit so the expectations for his following director effort were pretty high. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a huge disappointment, in fact, the most disappointing movie I have seen so far directed by Robert Altman. Basically, once again, he came up with a massive cast filled with stars but, this time, it seems that he didn’t manage to juggle all these characters into something really entertaining. At the end of the day, the best thing was the nice French poster including all these naked models, the film itself was really underwhelming and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
