Short Cuts is Robert Altman's masterpiece. I find this film so compelling I revisit it quite often. The fact that this film has not been released on DVD yet is a shame. It's really hard to explain what Short Cuts is about -- or is it really about anything? Like most Altman films -- Short Cuts has a voyeuristic feel to it. It feels like we are eavesdropping on the most private moments of people's lives. With over 22 main characters -- that's a lot of people to get to know, but Short Cuts manages to make a memorable character out of every one of them. This is a truly great film. My favorite performance in the film: Either Lyle Lovett the baker or Tim Robbins as the cop.
Also features full frontal nudity by Julianne Moore. This movie has everything.
