""While helicopters overhead spray against a Medfly infestation a group of Los Angeles lives intersect, some casually, some to more lasting effect. Whilst they go out to concerts and jazz clubs and even have their pools cleaned, they also lie, drink, and cheat. Death itself seems never to be far away, even on a fishing trip." IMDB."@en

"Complex drama in which the paths of a disparate group of southern Californians cross unpredictably during the course of a few long summer days."
"A laserdisc version of the 1993 film, presented in its original widescreen ratio o 2.35:1. In this mosaic of comic and tragic narratives Altman relocates Carver's blue collar Pacific North West miniatures to the sprawling suburbs of Los Angeles. Anti-classical looseness is achieved not only by the structure but by Altman's distinctive camera style: frequent slow zooms combined with pans, tableaux-like use of the widescreen to frame groups of characters combined with more conventional reverse angle cutting. The effect is unsettling. For critic and L.A. resident David Thompson, Altman has 'caught the hazy, slippery looseness of Los Angeles, its casual violence and childishness, with a precision seldom attempted by mainstream Hollywood'"@en
