"FAT WHITE SEX"

Set in England in the early twentieth century, Robert Altman's Gosford Park was billed as an English hunting weekend that ends up a murder mystery.

It was English for sure (lots of tea, dimply white skin and cankles); and people did shoot guns at animals, but a mystery it was not. Even the guy alseep next to me figured it out. Where Altman did slowly (but surely) succeed was in sculpting an interesting look at the difference between haves and have-nots. Within the main group of characters there were well-defined lines of English class structure honorable to the time period.

The common thread on both sides of the kitchen door was a heavy love and lust for sex. Sex was good, sex was wrong, sex ruined lives. But I mean, how far can you take sexual tension with a group of English people. It's like getting too drunk. It's fun at first, then just ends up sloppy. My advice, bring a date and a coffee. Oh yeah, a handmaiden in the film is played by the schoolgirl who fucks Ewen McGregor in Trainspotting. You know who I'm talking about.
