SHORT CUTS (1993) USA, directed by Robert Altman, with Lily Tomlin, Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tom Waits, Bruce Davison, Fred Ward, Robert Downey Jr., Matthew Modine, Andie MacDowell. 187 min, 35mm. http://us.imdb.com/Details?0108122 "Frank settled down out in the Valley / And hung his wild years / On a nail / That he drove through his wife's forehead." Based on short stories by Raymond Carver, a brilliant cast of actors play eccentric 30-something characters whose lives manage to overlap and intersect in Los Angeles. The characters of this cynical comedy are accurately sketched, not relying on cheap pratfalls for laughs. Instead they do normal run-of-the-mill things like clean pools, go out to concerts, cheat on their spouses, lie, and drink, with death never seeming to be far away. Short Cuts will be screened in 35mm at 7:00 PM this Friday, March 8th, at Innis College Town Hall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- CINSSU presents...
