Review of 3 Women (1977) by Steven C — 29 Apr 2011
Robert Altman's "3 Women" was conceived in a dream and subsequently structured like one. Obviously, this has it pros and cons. While I suspect there is no clear one meaning to the film, it should mean something different to each viewer.
The acting on display here is top notch. Shelley Duvall and Sissy Spacek deliver two of their best performances and ultimately create a fascinating single character. "3 Women" is an uncomfortable 2 hours, full of frustration, anxiety and that hauntingly ever-present demonic artwork.
One of, if not, Altman's most daring and obscure pictures. (Yes, even over "Images.").
