Short Cuts (1993)

Robert Altman's sprawling ensemble drama "Short Cuts" weaves together the intersecting lives of ordinary Los Angeles residents, based on the short stories of Raymond Carver. Amid its wide cast, Madeleine Stowe stands out in a scene that bares a rare glimpse of intimacy beneath the film's tangled suburban unease. The site carries just 1 scene clip from the film, but it's a well-chosen one, catching Stowe topless in a moment of unguarded vulnerability that fans of the actress won't want to miss.
