Robert Altman made this one after his comeback film, "The Player" in 1992. He wrote the screenplay and it is based on a number on interlocking stories of modern L.A. residents, all of whom have little control over their lives, although they think they do. Some of the characters meet but most do not. Each is in am occupation they most likely fell into. Everything here seems on the brink of disaster, from the opening helicopters spraying medflies on. All in all a depressing film, lightened by small touches of irony and dark humor.
Follow Ups:
Not one of his best, but I could enjoy Altman, even if it's below his usual standards ( Short Cuts -The Long Goodbye - McCabe and Mrs Miller). Short Cuts had some nice moments - I thought the vignette involving the baker was poignant and Lemon's performance was powerful.For me, Altmans films always have a sense of detachment and objectivity that keep me from being drawn in emotionally unless it is warranted intellectually first. No suicide contemplating here!
One of the few movies that made me want to take a rope and hang myself...
....I hope it will help you....
