I like those mosaic films by Robert Altman more and more. Well, it really is his genre. In the first half hour it is a bit of a search with no less than 22 characters. But then the storylines are explained and before you know it you are in a nice film with a length of no less than 3 hours and it continues to be fascinating. A bit soapy and artificial, yes, but that is typical of these kinds of films.

“I hate LA All they do is snort coke and talk.”

Great movie from Robert Altman. Short Cuts has a long playing time and at certain moments it does take its revenge, but the problems and everyday worries of a number of characters remain interesting to follow. The images of summertime Los Angels are also beautiful, and Altman's direction provides an almost hypnotic effect. Not all characters are equally interesting (Tim Robbins, Madeleine Stowe and Julianne Moore are clearly the strongest), and how it all comes together depends on coincidences. You know that in advance with these kinds of films, and it didn't really bother you.
