Gosford Park : 4 of 5
9.22.2002

I didn't see this in the theater, but I figured I should rent it since it was nominated for Best Picture. I've enjoyed Robert Altman movies in the past - I loved Short Cuts (but then again, I love Raymond Carver). Gosford Park starts quite slowly - at first I thought it was just going to be a simple comparison of servants and their masters, and then suddenly the murder occurs and I was on the edge of my seat! With that one event in the middle of the plot, the film changes entirely, and makes all of the setup worthwhile. I enjoyed all of the characters - there are so many of them that it takes a while to get used to them all, but eventually things fall into place. I wouldn't call it Best Picture, but it's a great film.
