SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Altman again turns an upper-class gathering into a densely layered social comedy, using roaming ensemble viewpoints, brittle manners, and quietly accumulating chaos beneath a polished country-house surface.
02
Why this pick
Its wedding preparations create the same pleasure of intersecting relatives, staff, secrets, and comic mishaps, though with a warmer, more emotionally generous ensemble rhythm.
03
Why this pick
A family celebration becomes a sharply observed pressure cooker of ritual, denial, and volatile relationships. It is much harsher than Altman’s comedy, but similarly dismantles respectable social performance.
04
Why this pick
This elegant country-weekend ensemble uses overlapping romances, servants and guests, and escalating misunderstandings to expose the absurd rules governing a privileged social world.
05
Why this pick
For the deadpan pleasure of affluent people trapped in increasingly absurd formal occasions, Buñuel offers a surreal, impeccably mannered social satire with a similarly mischievous ensemble sensibility.

01 / THE STORY
Dino Corelli marries Muffin Brenner and attends the reception at the Corelli mansion. Bedridden matriarch Nettie Sloan, mother of Dino's mother Regina Sloan Corelli, is being tended by disreputable Dr. Jules Meecham. While speaking with wedding planner Rita Billingsley, Nettie suddenly dies. Meecham informs Dino's father, Luigi Corelli, but Luigi is unable to tell his wife Regina because she is mentally unstable. Nettie's corpse remains in bed throughout the reception, while various attendees visit her room without realizing she's dead. By the time bossy daughter Toni finds out and plans a dramatic announcement, other family members are mostly unsurprised or not even too upset.
