November 1932: A group of wealthy guests and their servants gather in an English country house for dinner, music, and, inevitably, murder, in Robert Altman’s upstairs-downstairs comedy mystery, Gosford Park (2001). The film was a hit with critics and audiences, becoming Altman’s biggest hit since M*A*S*H, and won several awards, including an Oscar for screenwriter Julian Fellowes. One of the most impressive ensemble casts ever put together, includes Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Helen Mirren, Kristin Scott Thomas, Bob Balaban, Kelly Macdonald, Clive Owen, Ryan Phillipee, Emily Waton, Alan Bates, Charles Dance, Richard E Grant, Derek Jakobi, and Stephen Fry.

Crime novelist Nicolás Obregón joins to discuss the film. Nic’s latest book, The Sugar Man (Penguin Michael Joseph), is out now. You can listen to his podcast, Faceless, here: https://linktr.ee/facelesspod
