Title: Gosford Park
Review: This film is, without doubt, not only one of Altman'sbest films it also is a wonderful example of some ofthe best ensemble acting ever filmed. The camera workgets the viewer "inside" the dialogue, provides intimateand sumptuous overviews of the English manor house set,and invades the privacy of the "lower" regions whereservants dwell affording the viewer discoveries of thesecrets of the servants and their masters on the upper floors.The acting is first-rate with the film slowly building to thewrenching final scene when the biggest secret of all is revealed. The novice film viewer easily pleased by Hollywood'spenchant for blowing things up will probably not enjoy GosfordPark. The film lover who relishes superb direction andbrilliant ensemble acting will do as I and return over and overto this film! Bravo.
