Short Cuts by Robert Altman
(USA, 1993, 188′)

A squadron of helicopters swoop over Los Angeles to spread a powerful pesticide. So begins the film by Robert Altman’s masterpiece in which the stories of the lives and destinies of twenty-two main characters are told, while the city expects the terrible earthquake soon to hit. Awarded with the Golden Lion at the 50 th Venice Film Festival in 1993, the film depicts a cross section of the bitterness and hopeless American society. Taken from some of Carver’s stories and with a strong formidable cast, the film shows us a complex weaving of what it means to be American.
