	Gosford Park
		Gosford Park is at the same time a comedy and study of behavior and manners, a portrait of class, gender and tragic personal histories as well as a murder mystery movie.
		Gosford Park reveals the intricate relations of and between the above and below-stairs worlds, illuminating the pre-World War II way of life of the high society and its servants which is about to come to an end.
		With Gosford Park, Robert Altman, the master of large ensemble pieces, here with a rich setting of employers and servants with completely different lives and with different aims, for one weekend all under one roof, has created his best film ever.

	Gosford Park - Review - Piddleville
		But in Gosford Park I enjoyed the movie at least as much as the idea of it - probably more so.
		In Gosford Park, when the "who" is revealed (somewhat obliquely), we don't get the usual surprise of, "Oh, it was him," or "Oh, it was her." The revelation is in why the crime was committed.
		Gosford Park is also satirical but the satire is much more muted than other Altman films.

		Gosford features more roles than the much touted “24 major characters” in Nashville, but it manages to develop them more fully and treat them like humans, not props.
		Gosford Park appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Since Gosford focused so strongly on speech, I didn’t find this orientation to be a problem, but I felt the integration of the elements could appear off to a certain degree.

		Robert Altman's "Gosford Park" is above all a celebration of styles-- the distinct behavior produced by the British class system, the personal styles of a rich gallery of actors, and his own style of introducing a lot of characters and letting them weave their way through a labyrinthine plot.
		But "Gosford Park" is a Dame Agatha story in the same sense that "MASH" is a war movie, "McCabe" is a Western and "Nashville" is a musical: Altman uses the setting, but surpasses the limitations and redefines the goal.
		The cast of "Gosford Park" is like a reunion of fine and familiar actors (I have not yet even mentioned Derek Jacobi, Kelly Macdonald, Clive Owen, Emily Watson and James Wilby).

	Review: Gosford Park (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Gosford Park is an ensemble movie, with perhaps the largest and most distinguished group of actors Altman has ever worked with.
		Gosford Park resembles a jigsaw puzzle where every piece is a tiny work of art, but, when everything is assembled into a whole, it doesn't live up to the promise of its individual components.
		For Altman, who is widely regarded as a master of the ensemble film, Gosford Park represents one of the few instances in which the director has been unable to wrap his arms completely around a large and talented cast.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Gosford Park" review (2001) Robert Altman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Stephen Fry, Emily Watson
		The estate is the home of the aloof upper-crusters Sir William and Lady Sylvia McCordle (Michael Gambon and Kristin Scott Thomas) and it's gathering place for their many coattail-riding relatives, including Aunt Constance (the wonderful, quizzically austere Maggie Smith) who habitually puts on airs as if she's not living off an allowance from the McCordles.
		Altman's talent for meticulous character juggling is put to the test in the interlaced manifold narrative of "Gosford Park," embellished as it is with backstories and/or ulterior motives.
		With the exception of Fry's inept inspector, there's not a cliché to be had here, and almost any one of the multihued personalities in "Gosford Park" could have been the main character, had the story taken a different tack.

		For Novello, too, is a minor character in GOSFORD PARK, but he remains vital to Director Altman's ironic motivations, for none of the people encountered by the party of the aristocratic Countess or that of the posing gay romantic hero are what they seem.
		Of all the characters in GOSFORD PARK, he is the only one who genuinely loves and cares for his master, not so much as a person but as an idealized figure to be respected.
		Parks strikes the regular staff as a bit of an enigma, in that despite his likable self-confidence and good looks, he admits to being an orphan, a condition often either stigmatized or pitied in pre-World War II Britain.

	Altman's Road to Gosford Park
		His latest film, "Gosford Park", is another ensemble piece, part murder mystery, part social satire on the British class system, whose tone is uniquely British.
		Altman points out that while "Gosford Park" may indeed be quintessentially British, this Kansas native insists that "it always takes someone from the outside to come in and give you a really kind of balanced look at what's happening in culture.
		In over three decades of filmmaking Altman has rarely made the same film twice, and he adds that part of the appeal for "Gosford Park" was the notion of getting his teeth into a classic whodunit.

	Filmtracks: Gosford Park (Patrick Doyle)
		Gosford Park: (Patrick Doyle) When one thinks about a Robert Altman film, the original score isn't the first thing that comes to mind.
		This wasn't the case, however, with Gosford Park, which was a musical-like diversion for Altman.
		Minimalistic by Doyle's standards, Gosford Park has its moments of jazzy flair and rolling piano cues, but the mass of it tinkers along with a light beat and the meanderings of a solo instrument of choice.

	AboutFilm.com - Gosford Park (2001)
		Set in 1932, Gosford Park concerns a large gathering for a hunting holiday at the estate of Sir William McCordle (Michael Gambon) and his wife Lady Sylvia McCordle (Kristin Scott Thomas), and the murder that eventually takes place.
		Gosford Park isn't about how the power games are played, though, but about how inept the players are and meaningless the games have become (unlike in, say, Howards End).
		Instead, go to Gosford Park if you like character examinations and historical snapshots, because that's what it is, and an absorbing, expertly rendered one at that.

	slant // magazine.com: DVD Review - Gosford Park
		Friends, family and servants alike become implicated in a homicide yet Gosford Park cannot be taken as a straight-faced murder mystery.
		The problem with Gosford Park's two commentary tracks (one with screenwriter Julian Fellowes and one with Robert Altman, production designer Stephen Altman and producer David Levy) is that much of the discussion feels redundant.
		"The Authenticity of Gosford Park" is essentially footage from the making-of documentary though the focus here is on the butler, cook and parlour mail technicians who helped the cast understand the form and function of their roles.

	The Popkorn Junkie :: Gosford Park
		Nominated for numerous Academy Awards, "Gosford Park" is not only the best film of 2001, but also one of the best films I have seen in my entire life, a Robert Altman classic which ranks up there with other Altman films like "Nashville", "Short Cuts", and even "MAS*H".
		To put it as plainly as I can--this is a masterpiece of modern cinema and deserves to win every single award for which it is nominated.
		The setting of this tale is Gosford Park, a large mansion belonging to Sir William McCordle (Michael Gambon) and Lady Sylvia McCordle (Kristen Scott Thomas), where a party is being held--two days of hunting, eating, and fellowship.

		Gosford Park manages to be fabulously entertaining while exposing human shortcomings, compromises and endless need for confession.
		On the DVD: Gosford Park, presented 2.35:1--Anamorphic Widescreen transfer, is awash with the muted colours and sepia tones which permeate the film, the sound is excellent as the actors were individually miked, so you don’t loose any of the dialogue giving away subtle plot developments.
		Gosford Park may not be everyone's choice, but for me it was first rate entertainment.

		Gosford Park starts with a scene lifted from Jean Renoir’s The Rules of the Game — servants at a grand country house getting drenched during a rain storm in the service of their betters.
		As is always the case in Altman’s films, the suits are fools, and it’s up to little Mary Maceachran to solve the case, which she does, but she doesn’t bother to tell anyone, because Sir William rather deserved his untimely end.
		Parks does know that Sir William was the bastard who made him a bastard and sent him to live in an orphanage.

		With Gosford Park, Robert Altman once again shows us that even a beautiful film, with great performances and great attention to detail, can still be boring.
		But now I know.” Deny all you want, but this bit of useless pretention is the first clue as to the thinness of Gosford Park and the resulting level of scholarly dissection it should be not generating from audiences everywhere.

		We don't see the murder committed in "Gosford Park," but you can be sure the killer does it with an upraised pinky and an impeccably clean weapon.

		So, while the idea for "Gosford Park" may have been inspired by murder mysteries "Christie style" and by the likes of "Brideshead Revisited" and the BBC series about the Bellamy's Eaton Square household, we leave familiar territory the moment we enter the estate...

	Gosford Park Reviewed
		Part of the appeal of director Robert Altman's newest film to some folks is that the goings-on at an English estate in the 1930’s are at least as exotic as the goings-on in last year’s Kandahar.
		As the Gosford folks disperse at the end of the film, with talk of selling the house, the experience of the past two hours and some minutes seems equally as inconsequential, and yet--we see this little world through the lens of a director like Robert Altman--strangely memorable.
		Wry puzzlement is an appropriate response to the works of the great and aply named Edward Gorey, the author/illustrator of horror stories that just weren't horrible enough for children, and most of which were set in rambling old estates.
