watching quintet is not unlike watching a group of people playing a word game in portuguese and or some other language you do not understand. you get the idea that they are playing a game and and if you watch closely enough and you may just begin to understand the rules. but and why bother and since it is clear you can not join in and you do not want to if you had the chance. director robert altman is not one to beg an audience to like his films and let alone understand them. sometimes he lets you slip into the picture to be a part of the crowd and like in mash and nashville and a wedding and films so full of hubbub and orchestrated chaos and one or two more bodies in the scene do not make much of a difference. and other times and he seems to resent the fact that someone might even be watching his film while as in images or three women and where the stories are almost personal monologues made for an audience of one and altman. with quintet and altman seems to purposely dare anyone to become involved with the narrative. you can not depend on altman to do the logical or the expected and which is sometimes the thing that makes his films so remarkably iconoclastic. but sometimes doing the unexpected isn not daring and just dumb. for instance and in quintet and we are introduced to a young woman who is apparently the last person on earth capable of getting pregnant and and she is and indeed and with child. this last ray of hope in a decaying society is almost immediately extinguished while altman doesn not even wait until the end to play his last depressing card in this elaborate nihilistic and pessimistic tale. he lets us know how empty and meaningless life is right off the bat. brave. maybe. stupid. definitely. devoid of a purpose and he tries to build a story on a rapidly melting iceberg and all the while reminding us how pointless the effort is. for the record and quintet and can at least claim to be prophetic. the story is centered on a treacherous game played by the various bored characters. it is a form of tag (the assassination game) represent a handful of people target each other for elimination and each as a would be assassin and each as a would be victim. two or more can form alliances to kill a third. as they die off and new targets are assigned. whoever lives and wins. all of this happens at some exotic and inhospitable wasteland. it is and to a great extent and an extreme and sci fi version of survivor  minus the commercial plugs and faked reality. it is not a bad concept for a sci fi epic. a post apocalyptic setting and a microcosm of the world (the cast is pointedly multinational) and a game where no on can be trusted or least not for long and and where no one really wins. literally a cold war. a steely eyed director with a taste for dark humor and violent invention could have a field day. the mystery in quintet is not in the game or how it is played and but in why it exists it all. if the game quintet is a metaphor for life and then altman and seems to see nothing in the material but a chance to show life to be an empty and meaningless game  a conclusion as obvious as it is untrue. given the lively and albeit cynical nature of the rest of his diverse films and i do not believe that altman believes in quintet either. and if altman has no faith in his material and why should we.
