Gosford Park (2001)

Gosford Park (2001, USA/GBR) C-137m. SCOPE *** D: Robert Altman. Starring Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Kristin Scott Thomas, Camilla Rutherford, Charles Dance, Jeremy Northam, Bob Balaban, James Wilby, Ryan Phillippe, Stephen Fry, Kelly Macdonald, Clive Owen, Helen Mirren, Eileen Atkins, Emily Watson, Alan Bates, Derek Jacobi, Richard E. Grant. Elegant drama set in the early 1930s about a gathering at a noble villa, where characters show their faults and weaknesses and murder is just around the corner. Adds up to very little in terms of plot, but production design is meticulous and the acting flawless. Overlong but well-directed by old master Altman. Oscar winner for Best Screenplay.
