Book Description
"Set in a magnificent country estate in 1932 Britain, Gosford Park is part comedy of manners and part mystery. The film is a moving portrait of events that bridge generations, class, sex, tragic personal histories - and culminate in a murder. Ultimately revealing the intricate relations of the above- and below-stairs worlds with great clarity, Gosford Park illuminates a society and way of life quickly coming to an end." In the acclaimed Newmarket Shooting Script Series format, the book contains a facsimile of the script with an introduction by director Robert Altman, an afterword by screenwriter Julian Fellowes, stills from the film, and full cast and crew credits.

Vintage Altman and a great screenplay,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gosford Park: The Shooting Script (Paperback)
If you've seen the Robert Altman film, "Gosford Park," and especially if you're sure you missed something critical but aren't sure just what it was, this is the book for you. Julian Fellowes' brilliant screenplay not only brings into the foreground all the dialogue and physical action that flowed through the film in typical Altman fashion, but it is accompanied by highly illuminating notes and photos identifying all the players and where they fit in the story. I bought it to use as an aid to my second viewing of the film, at home on DVD, but I found it so fascinating and well written that I read it long before the film was released on video. All screenplays should be this good.

Insightful Reading,
By gobirds2 (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gosford Park: The Shooting Script (Paperback)
This script is mesmerizing. The subtleties of the dialogue clearly define the constitution of the characters. It makes the film more enjoyable. I now understand more clearly what the actions on the screen represented and what many of the motivations were. So much went into this story that when you think about it, this was an incredible piece of filmmaking.

This review is from: Gosford Park: The Shooting Script (Paperback)
I had never seen a shooting script in the book form before. I found it fun to read, Although I was a little dissapointed that it seemed to have left out so many things from the movie.One of the things it did for me, is clearified the diologe that is always so difficult for me to make out in movies. I will view the movie again, and because of the shooting script I will better understand the actors diologe. Thank you for your good service. I always feel confident when I work with or through Amazon. Celeste L |
