  Article:   SHORT CUTS - A FEW CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT THE STYLE OF ROBERT ALTMAN.

Authors:  IOANA URICARU.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  The career of the great American film-maker Robert Altman sits at the core of a brief analysis of the changes occurring in style and message of postmodern American film, generally. At the same time, the author of the paper evaluates the original traits of considerable artistic output viewed nowadays as a "classic" one. The prodidious activity of the great American filmaker Robert Altman is viewed from the perspective of the "grammar" of the modernist American film. Focussing on Short Cuts, the author analyzes other films, bringing into limelight the similaities and diffrences among them. The main characteristic may be seen as being rooted in the "mechanics of the image".
