Movie Haiku:Altman takes his characteristic ensemble approach straight into Agatha Christie territory – moving over 2 dozen wonderful characters through an English country house the very weekend when, yipes, the lord of the manor is murdered. All the surface elements are in place (sets, music, cinematography), but we couldn’t find the soul.
