Review of Images (1972) by Kevin D — 23 Sep 2007
Leave it to Robert Altman to craft an original film from worn material of psychotic-schizophrenic character analyses. Images definitely feels like the spawn of Hitchcock and/or Bergman, but it has a voice all its own. York's trembling narration of her "In Search of Unicorns" story throughout is mesmerizing as are the perplexing visuals. It's difficult to take your eyes off the landscape and meticulously crafted transitions. This is a film that implores for multiple viewings.
Additionally, the film's score and sound (from John Williams and Stomu Yamash'ta) are definitely reminiscent of those in Punch-Drunk Love... not surprising considering P.T. Anderson's obsession with Altman.
