The Player

Threatening letters, seemingly from a frustrated screenwriter, turn the life of an ambitious Hollywood producer into a real-life thriller. His search for the anonymous sender jeopardizes his professional and social standing. Robert Altman’s return to Hollywood after a decade away brings this surprising hit. Altman delivers a sharp, witty satire on Hollywood and early '90s America, using the same flowing, unsentimental cinematic style that defined his earlier works. The film blends fictional characters with real events, resulting in elegant, smart, and humorous cinema that's truly worth experiencing.
