Upstairs or below stairs?

Advantages: Agatha Christie-like
Disadvantages: Too many characters

Introduction As soon as I heard about this film, I knew it would be right up my street. Described as a murder mystery, it is set in a stately home in 1930s England. With a large number of famous actors and actresses, including Maggie Smith, Kristin Scott-Thomas, Helen Mirren, Charles Dance, Stephen Fry and Clive Owen, it couldn't really go much wrong. And I wasn't disappointed, well, not too disappointed anyway - it takes a while before any action ...
...it's a must-see for anyone that enjoys crime fiction by writers such as Agatha Christie. The director Robert Altman, who came up with the idea for the story, along with Bob Balaban, was born in Kansas in 1925. He has written, directed and produced a number of films, although the majority of them are not particularly well-known. He is probably best-known for directing Alfred Hitchcock's TV show and writing the script for MASH. The plot Sir William ...

Advantages: Impressive cast, nice setting, some good bits
Disadvantages: Confusing, too many characters to care about them, dreary in parts

...risible special effects. So reviewing Gosford Park will be a tricky one for me, as I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it, it was just okay. We don’t visit Blockbuster often but we had a childfree evening and it was my birthday, so Hubby and I went there and perused the video shelves. I love romantic comedies and chick flicks, Hubby isn’t keen. I hated The Matrix, he loved it. So we carefully inspected the videos trying to ...
...up Gosford Park because of the huge cast list – this film is literally stuffed full of well-known British actors. I watch a film often solely because of the stars in it, so this is always a draw. Hubby likes Stephen Fry. So we hired it and sat down to watch, Indian takeaway and Haagen-Dazs ice cream as an accompaniment. It’s a long film at 2 hours 17 minutes. However, the pace alters throughout the film, so it seems very long in parts ...

Upstairs Downstairs with Sex and Violence

Advantages: Acting, Sets
Disadvantages: Too many characters, no one to sympathise with

Impressed by the cast-list of Gosford Park, and by the reviews I had read praising it to the hilt, I rented the video, turned down the lights and settled back for a cinematic treat. Boasting more fine British actors than you could shake a stick out, and Robert Altman at the directing helm, this couldn’t fail to be anything but brilliant. Or could it? That Cast List: Maggie Smith ... Constance, Countess of Trentham Michael Gambon ... Sir William ...

They gather the above ensemble at the house for a weekend shooting party. The party includes a countess, a war hero, an American film producer and the famous matinee idol Ivor Novello. As the toffs gather above stairs, their various valets and maids join the Gosford staff below stairs. So begins two separate but intertwining ...

Gosford Park A La Altman

Advantages: A refreshing reinvention of the "whodunnit"!
Disadvantages: Potentially confusing multiple plot.

Gosford Park is a beautifully shot satire that comments on the servant master-relationship during the 1930's through the eyes of the servants in a country house over the course of the weekend when the master of the house is murdered - twice! It is a refreshing reinvention of the 'whodunnit'. I have to say that this was one of my 'must see' films at the time it was released, which was quite an achievement! With both 'Ocean's Eleven' and 'Gosford Park' ...
...of which is true of Gosford Park. Gosford Park is predictable (and compared to an action film it could be described as slow) but that is some of its charm. Quite frankly, anyone who doesn't have a pretty fair guess of who they think the murderer is should go and watch 'The Fast and the Furious' (don't get me wrong that is a good film - you just might as well leave your brain at the door.) This doesn't really matter though, because the murder only ...

Murder on the Menu

Advantages: Superb picture of the 1930's
Disadvantages: A little too long possibly

Gosford Park is a film that in many respects captures the quintessential behaviour and mannerisms of both those with the privilege of being upper class as well as those whose job it is to serve them. In November 1932 Sir William McCordle and his wife Lady Sylvia are gathering together relations and friends for a weekends shooting party. The guests themselves are an eclectic mix and bring with them a wide range of personal maids and valets that swell ...
...overall feel and tone of Gosford Park and I personally think that the entire mood of the era is captured extremely well and that the film itself seems to be more a snapshot of a period in history brought to life by the murder tale. The feeling of the era is brought to life through the decadent outfits of the guests upstairs as well as their behaviour, opinions and topical conversation. Downstairs the outfits of the maids, valets and cooks also reinforce ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Gosford Park (DVD)"

One of the greatest loves stories ever told.

Advantages: Beautiful Film, Loverly Story that is well told.
Disadvantages: No Extras on the DVD

with the American divorcé Mrs. Simpson; Bertie and Elizabeth inheriting the thrown and becoming King and Queen; the Second World War, and Berties early death in 1952. Elizabeth out lived her husband by over 50 years. Starring Juliet Aubrey, the BAFTA award winning star of Middlemarch and James Wilby (Gosford Park, A Handful Of Dust) NO DVD EXTRAS I love this. I have a soft spot for period dramas in general which started with Pride and Prejudice but this true story warms my heart. I love it, and in my opinion it shows a human side to royal romance that you don't usually think of. The settings and costumes as well as the casting is excellent. The chemistry between Juliet Aubrey and James Wilby works brilliantly and makes you feel as if you are secretly looking in to the real life of Elizabeth and Bertie. The main draw back to this DVD is the lack ...
