Review of California Split (1974) by Chris S — 08 Aug 2007

A consistently underrated gem, that can be safely regarded, by those who know better, as the late Robert Altman's overlooked masterpiece. Though often categorized in your local video store as a drama, please do not be fooled by this naive error of judgment that over the years has quietly become a far too common misconception.

California spilt is nothing short of hilarious in the realm of both downplayed subtlety, and irreverent slapstick. While all the while managing to maintain it's dignity in the process. With that said let me end by encouraging each and every one alike to view Robert Altman's California Split at-least twice, as it is, in short, just a cool flick that would never think of crapping out.
