Movie Reviews of Robert Altman Collection (M*A*S*H / A Perfect Couple / Quintet / A Wedding)
Movie Review: Fine but no need for M*A*S*H again
Summary: 4 Stars
I love Robert Altman movies and here are three rare ones, finally getting their due. But why is M*A*S*H included, when it was afforded a big two disc set treatment only a couple of year's previously? It would have been a far better idea to have added HEALTH, a really obscure Altman film, that barely got released. MASH was included to make sure their was a popular title in the mix, but to attract fans of the sitcom, not the movie. The Altman devotees, which this composite says is its target audience, bought the MASH set on the first bounce. So, here, the devoted had to rebuy the Korean war film in order to get A WEDDING.
A WEDDING is a fine, funny film which expands the NASHVILLE-style multiple character arena Altman genre to new heights. Wonderful performances and outrageous plot turns will delight fans, but the unwary may be turned off. It is intelligent, fast paced and filled with Altman touches.
A PERFECT COUPLE deserves to be better known. It is a romantic story of two nebbish-y people finding romance in the midst of a wild tangle of Altman weirdos. Funny, well acted, it got dumped on its original release and never got a chance to find an audience.
QUINTET is probably the worst Altman film of all time. Arty, pretentious, devoid of meaning, and boring,
This package cries out for HEALTH, and there really needs to be commentaries. If Altman himself wasn't available, then there are certainly enough serious enthusiasts of his work to add insight to the set. The 'by the book' little documentaries offer very little.
