플레이어 (The Player) - 로버트 알트만 (1992)

***The Player(1992)(96. Feb 3)

Tim Robbins, Greta Scracchi.

If [Sunset Boulevard] is the Hollywood movie of the Golden Age then [The Player]is the ultimate novie about movies of the modern era. Wickedly funny, with a rousing cast including 65 film luminaries playing themselves, the script about a murders screenwriter is filled with knowing references and acerbic exchanges. The good news is that the film is not so inside that it can't be enjoyed by everyone. It is a mystery with a twist that looks terrific, is wonderfully acted, and is brilliantly directed by a man who skewers the Hollywood that has often done him wrong. Written by Michael Tolkin from his sult novel, he also appears with his brother, Stephen as a filmmaking duo.(Dir. Robert Altman, 123mins.)

 

Tim Robbins has his own unique color. He seems Phlegmatic but he is sharp like a snake which waits for its prey. This is a good movie. Very cynnical about the Hollywood, but strangely this movie itself Hollywoodic.
