Robert Altman, takes a witty and absorbing look at the foibles of the British class system in this intelligent murder mystery set in the early ’30s. When a wealthy industrialist is found dead during a weekend hunting party, both the aristocratic guests upstairs and the observant servants below come under scrutiny. Featuring Maggie Smith, Kristin Scott Thomas, Helen Mirren, Ryan Phillipe, Richard E. Grant, Emily Watson, and Clive Owen, Altman’s roaming cameras and overlapping dialogue weave a rich tapestry of intrigue. Elegant, acerbic, and endlessly rewatchable, Gosford Park is cozy crime at its most refined.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen the British class system of the 1930s so artfully dissected. It’s all the more remarkable when you consider that Altman is a 76-year-old American—albeit a Southern gent. A huge, huge treat.” Roger Clarke, Independent (UK)
