Classics: 3 Women
Cinema Forum Groningen
Nieuwe Markt 1, 9712KN Groningen GroningenRobert 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.
