Both films shared nominations in several categories, and while one took home a few trophies and one did not, I highly recommend these films to chase away the winter blues. Amélie is a charming story of a young woman who’s imagination and precociousness involves her in the lives of her friends and even strangers. From the artist neighbor in her apartment building, to a mean grocer, and to her own reclusive father who yearns to travel, Amélie employs her wit and new found belief to solve everyone’s greatest problems to eventually find resolution in her life and true love. Amélie was nominated for several academy awards including best foreign language film, best writing, best art direction and best cinematography. Erika Reed, Gosford Park, nominated for two best actresses in a supporting roll, best art direction, Director and best costume design, took home the academy award for best writing. This film is more than a classic who-did-it mystery, based at the end of England’s prosperous Ed- wardian Era. Upper crust English guests and their lower class servants are embroiled in a weekend stay at Gosford Park that leads to the host’s murder. The film pays par- ticular attention to the details of the daily lives of the servants “below stairs” and their employers, the fashionably wealthy aristocrats who are more irritated by the murder than horrified. Both films are engaging and entertaining and sure to brighten the dol- drums of this gloomy mid-winter.

Often working with large casts of actors—and many featuring on screen simultaneously, with dialogues frequently overlapping one another and given little hierarchy in the sound design—US director Robert Altman (1925–2006) came to be associated with a signature style despite working in a range of genres, mostly in order to subvert their conventions. The adjective ‘Altmanesque’ has come to apply to this aesthetic, one in which much is also left to chance, with actors given space to improvise and create their own characters within a larger tableau or ‘mural’ (del Mar Azcona 142).

  • Gosford Park R
    (/) GOSFORD PARK R By Erica Abeel (Http://Www.Filmjournal.Com/Taxonomy/Term/93) Nov 1, 2004 Like Share Tweet Reviews (//www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button What could be more intriguing than a whodunit by Robert Altman with an all-star cast set on an English estate? The opening moments of Gosford Park augur well: black screen and the rustle of steady rain. Then the Countess of Trentham (the incomparable Maggie Smith) and her awkward new maid (Kelly Macdonald) leave in a vintage buggy through a twilight mist, promising mystery and mannered mayhem. But that's as atmospheric as it gets. This latest by the Big Daddy of American Cinema soon veers off into a showcase for the Altman stock-in-trade of episodic stories, ensemble acting and overlapping dialogue (liberally laced with free-floating misogyny)--all of it oddly out of place in this Agatha Christie territory. It's 1932 and a covey of upper-class Brits converge on Gosford Park, the digs of Sir William McCordle (Michael Gambon) and his wife, Lady Sylvia (Kristin Scott Thomas), for a shooting party. Also on hand are Ivor Novello (Jeremy Northam), the '30s matinee idol and singer, along with Morris Weissman (Bob Balaban), a Hollywood vulgarian and producer of Charlie Chan movies, who's planning a new whodunit that mirrors the one we're watching. Recycling the upstairs/downstairs format, Altman cuts back and forth between the mostly despicable aristos at play in drawing room and field, and the subterranean crew of servants beavering away in the shadowy warrens below. Before the actual murder occurs, there's funny business galore, especially below stairs.
