Directed by Robert Altman • 1994 • United States
Starring Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren, Anouk Aimée

Something like a NASHVILLE for the ’90s, Robert Altman’s deliciously catty fashion-industry satire zigzags, in inimitable Altman style, between the swarm of reporters, designers, models, power players, and oddballs buzzing around Paris Fashion Week. When the head of the Fashion Council turns up mysteriously dead, suddenly everyone’s a suspect—including two guests who end up sharing much more than a hotel room. Sophia Loren (recreating a certain iconic striptease), Marcello Mastroianni, Lauren Bacall, Kim Basinger, Julia Roberts, Tim Robbins, and Forest Whitaker are among the international luminaries gracing one of Altman’s most impressive ensembles.
