Robert Altman turns all expectations upside down with a beautifully crafted, but haunting psychological portrait of being a woman in the late seventies.
3 Women takes place in a dusty desert town in California and tells the story of the increasingly bizarre relationship between an adult woman (Shelley Duvall), her teenage roommate and colleague (Sissy Spacek), and a middle-aged pregnant woman (Janice Rule).
A brilliant film that provokes thought, about obsession, the elusive human mind, and identity.
3 Women premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1977 and received positive reviews from critics, who particularly praised the performances of Shelley Duvall and the rest of the cast.
The Films of Robert Altman
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Robert Altman, a contrarian filmmaker who broke with traditional narrative structures and brought a unique sense of realism and complexity to his films through his often improvisational style. His innovative approach influenced generations of filmmakers and in August we are screening no fewer than nine of his best films, including the satirical musical Nashville, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
Agenda
There are no new dates planned (yet) for Classics: 3 Women.
