DVD Quintet (1975) Paul Newman, Vittorio Gassman Fernando Rey, Robert Altman dir

Description: 1979 action-drama Quintet starring Paul Newman, Vittorio Gassman, Fernando Rey, Bibi Andersson, Brigitte Fossey, Nina van Pallandt and directed by seven-time Academy Award nominee Robert Altman. The Story: During a future ice age, dying humanity occupies its remaining time by playing a board game called "Quintet." For one small group, this obsession is not enough; they play the game with living pieces ... and only the winner survives. Comments: While not a big budget film, the production team created an interesting world of constant snow and gloom - perhaps a vision of a nuclear winter. Altman also successfully created an atmosphere of constant dread. That combined with a powerful music and loud ambient sound effects, presents a cinematic work with imagery that will haunt you for weeks after seeing the film. From an environmental perspective, Quintet isn't actually about how a society evolves to meet the challenges of environmental change; it's about how a society devolves to minimize the effect of environmental changes. Either way, this film has aged very well - its somber message is even more relevant today. Per the label, the film has 118 minute running time and is presented in widescreen 1.85:1 format; with English audio, Spanish and French dubbed audio, optional Spanish subtitles.
