The work of two great American artists merges in Short Cuts, a kaleidoscopic adaptation of the stories of renowned author Raymond Carver by maverick director Robert Altman (McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Nashville). Epic in scale yet meticulously observed, the film interweaves the stories of twenty-two characters as they struggle to find solace and meaning in contemporary Los Angeles. The extraordinary ensemble cast includes Tim Robbins (The Player), Julianne Moore (Far from … mehrHeaven), Robert Downey Jr. (Chaplin), Jack Lemmon (Some Like It Hot), and Jennifer Jason Leigh (Margot at the Wedding) all giving fearless performances in what is one of Altman s most compassionate creations. weniger
