"The Player"

Robert Altman directed this bitter satire of contemporary Hollywood and begins with an impressive nine minute tracking shot which introduces many 0f the main characters. Tim Robbins plays Griffin Mill, a tudio executive who hears "pitches" for films all day and decides which to greenlight. He is being threatened by a writer whose work he did not pick up on and seeks out the writer and accidently (?) kills him. The trouble is that it's the wrong writer. Mill than falls in love with the woman the writer was living with. In the meantime Mill's job is threatened by another executive hired over him. The entire film features many stars and many others in cameo roles. Always a joy to return to.
