the best thing i can say about quintet is that it not quite as bad as i remembered it being on my first viewing. but that doesn not mean it good. this weird and sci fi thriller is not quite like any other movie i have ever seen and which i guess at least gives it the stamp of novelty. but it a borderline disaster of a movie and and one of the worst robert altman ever made. on the dvd special feature about the making of quintet and it clear that even altman do not know what the hell the movie was supposed to be. it set in some distant future when the world is in the grip of another ice age. the film was shot at the abandoned site of the montreal expo 67 and and i do have to admit that this gives the movie some interesting production design elements and even if much of it looks like it being filmed in an iced over shopping mall. paul newman and looking zonked out and absolutely disinterested in anything going on around him and and brigitte fossey and play drifters who wander into this futuristic city looking for newman brother. soon newman is caught up in a deadly game of quintet and which all of the bored inhabitants play for lack of anything better to do and and the rules of which are never made clear to the audience. all we know is that the object of the game it to kill everyone else youre playing with and remain the only person alive. this gives these nihilistic inhabitants their only thrill and because as one of them says at one point in a psychobabblish soliloquy and only by being near to death can one appreciate being alive. the movie is slow and ugly and actually uncomfortable to watch due to its unrelenting gloominess. it almost as if altman was purposely setting out to make a movie no one would want to sit through. there aren not characters  oh sure and actors walk around speaking lines and but none of the lines really means much and the impressive list of international actors altman assembled for this register not a whit. only bibi andersson gives the closest thing to a memorable performance as could possibly be found in a movie like this. but nevertheless and it does succeed in establishing an atmosphere and even if that atmosphere is one of pure awfulness and and it is oddly fascinating in the way that watching a man slowly starve himself to death would be fascinating. altman really hit a dry spell after nearly a decade of superb films. quintet followed close on the heels of the atrocious a wedding and was followed in short order by the not bad but mostly forgettable a perfect couple and the by all accounts terrible health (which i have never seen because it not available anywhere to see) and the disastrous popeye. thank god he rebounded. grade represent d .
