Directed by Robert Altman Starring Sissy Spacek, Shelley Duvall, Janice Rule

Platonic desire morphs into a sinister force in Altman’s 1977 3 Women. Set against a droning Californian landscape, newcomer Pinky’s (Sissy Spacek) admiration for new colleague Millie (Shelley Duvall) soon mutates into a disquieting obsession as boundaries begin to blur and identities begin to dissolve. Altman claims this foray into surrealism came to him in a dream, and 3 Women certainly unfolds with an ungraspable, soporific logic.

3 Women is screening as part of Women in Flux, presented in association with the National Film and Television School’s Film Studies, Programming and curation MA.
