Director: Robert Altman
Cast: Michael Gambon, Maggie Smith, Emily Watson, Clive Owen, Helen Mirren
A group of people gather for a hunting party in an English country house in the 1930s in this Agatha Christiesque murder mystery. Robert Altman's obviously more interested in the web of relationships than in finding the culprit. An incredible cast in an enjoyable drama which won an Oscar for its screenplay. Maggie Smith steals her scenes as a cynical and snobbish Lady.
