MA ls

Starring

Director
Robert Altman

Year
1993

Genre
Drama

Synopsis
Based on stories by Raymond Carver, Robert Altman directs a superb ensemble cast in Short Cuts, where 22 Los Angeles residents' lives intersect over the course of a few days.

Andie MacDowell and Bruce Davison star as Ann and Howard Finnegan, who are preparing for their son Casey's birthday party when the boy is injured in an auto accident. Lyle Lovett stars as a baker who seethes with anger over the birthday cake that wasn't claimed, and Jack Lemmon is excellent as Howard's father, who decides that a visit with his ailing grandson is a good time to discuss his infidelities.

A talented cast includes Jennifer Jason Leigh, Chris Penn, Peter Gallagher, Frances McDormand, Lily Tomlin and Tom Waits.

TRIVIA:
All Jennifer Jason Leigh's phone-sex conversations are verbatim of the calls she heard when she was researching for the part; Annie Ross and Lori Singer's segment is a Robert Altman invention and has no connection to Raymond Carver.
