Short Cuts (1993)

Many loosely connected characters cross paths in this film, based on the stories of Raymond Carver. Waitress Doreen Piggot accidentally runs into a boy with her car. Soon after walking away, the child lapses into a coma. While at the hospital, the boy's grandfather tells his son, Howard, about his past affairs. Meanwhile, a baker starts harassing the family when they fail to pick up the boy's birthday cake.

I'd seen this only once before, a long time ago, after seeing Magnolia (1999) for the first time and thinking "Okay, I see where Paul may have taken...inspiration..." It was crazy to see how much of this I remembered and how I'd thought about some of these moments a lot over the years without realizing it.

And now, having watched so much Altman over the past 12 months, it was nice to come back to it. So much happens and so little happens at the same time, and it's just really great to be a fly on the wall (😉) to see all these characters live through 48 hours of their lives and how they all intersect and how, no matter what happens, things just keep on keeping on.

A real treat.
