farce going on

Master's work, he is always good at depicting various characters in a fixed space with a satirical hand.
In Britain after the First World War, people gathered under the roof of a certain nobleman for hunting parties (a characteristic of British nobles!). The guests who arrived one after another lived in luxurious rooms upstairs. The maids and waiters with luggage could only squeeze into the narrow space under the stairs. Under one roof, the strong contrast between the two worlds is the main line of the film (no surprise!). The ladies and gentlemen upstairs were intoxicated by the messages and the slanted shadows. And their seemingly humble servants, as soon as they returned downstairs, immediately became lively and eloquent. The film uses ambiguous, deliberately low-key British warm colors as the background. To outline those various characters in the manor. After the bland relationship between the characters is over, it is the climax of the film, and the male protagonist is killed. The various interpretations during this period also showed the powerful relationship between nobles and servants. Farce~
This film, after watching it for a long time, can express something~

    8/10. All kinds of VIPs and the earl family, and the servants living downstairs spy on and participate in this banquet. In a typical group play, the form and spirit should remain undisturbed. There are subtle connections between events, the plot progresses layer by layer, and the details are revealed quietly one by one. Ultraman's skills are exquisite, but the narrative subtraction is very important to the audience. Hypnotic power is also small.

    I broke down and saw a bunch of people who couldn't tell who was who blablabla after two hours, someone died, then disappeared, played by Altman!

  • Constance: Mary, I don't think I'll wear that shirt after all. The other one's warmer, that's all I care about.

  • Constance: Do you think he'll be as long as he usually is?
