Rarement les Américains auront été montrés avec un mélange aussi réussi de réalisme et de férocité. Inspiré de nouvelles de Raymond Carver, Short cuts a permis à Robert Altman de faire preuve d’une ironie dévastatrice et de se lancer dans un film choral, genre dont il est le maître depuis Nashville (1975). Dix ans après sa sortie en salles, le film, l’un des meilleurs du réalisateur de MASH, The player, Cookie’s fortune ou Gosford Park, vient de paraître en un double DVD. Short cuts (Lion d’or à Venise en 1993) est formé d’une multitude d’historiettes quotidiennes, à Los Angeles. Robert Altman en montre des fragments. De banales vies de couple, des personnages qui se croisent. Des ruptures, des tromperies, des engueulades, des peines et des joies. On y découvre une jeune mère de famille qui travaille pour un téléphone rose, un poivrot jaloux, un policier qui trompe son épouse (et qui est trompé par sa maîtresse), une artiste, un médecin, un autre jaloux qui détruit l’appartement de son ex, un couple bourgeois qui vit un horrible drame, une musicienne suicidaire, une partie de pêche où l’on découvre un cadavre de femme…

Using the short stories of Raymond Carver as a jumping-off point, american maverick director Robert Altman weaves a tapestry of interlocking tales set against the seedy backdrop of contemporary middle-class Los Angeles. Tracking the various stages of denial, rage, and despair in the lives of several couples–a philandering cop and his masochistic spouse (Tim Robbins and Madeline Stowe); a helicopter pilot who gets revenge on his ex by trashing her house (Peter Gallagher and Frances McDormand); a man and woman whose perfect life falls apart when they lose their son in a hit-and-run accident (Bruce Davison and Andie MacDowell); a pool cleaner who listens in mounting frustration to his wife performing phone sex each day while tending her brood of children (Chris Penn and Jennifer Jason Leigh); a wealthy couple who are haunted by an incident from the past (Matthew Modine and Julianne Moore); an aging jazz singer and her suicidal daughter (Annie Ross and Lori Singer); an alcoholic limo driver and his waitress wife (Tom Waits and Lily Tomlin)–Altman reveals their common threads of family dysfunction and marital discord in the unforgiving glare of the Southern California sunlight. The result is a sweeping motion picture that also stands as an important sociological artifact of late 20th century Los Angeles life.
