And also a little sadness
Published by Jen Star on November 21, 2006 at 11:05 p.m.I was struck by how sad I was today when I heard about the passing of Robert Altman. He directed my favourite movie (Gosford Park), and since Short Cuts, I'd considered him one of the most unique directors I'd encountered. I haven't watched any of his other movies, but I plan to, over the course of time.
In a way he reminds me of an older relative. He had grown frail in the last few years, and though I knew he was ailing, I expected him to always be there. And I know I should have paid more attention to his stories while he was still around, because now that he's gone, there will be no more long family sagas told over a game of cards in the dining room. His voice is now gone forever.
Rest in peace, Robert.
