3 Women (1977)

February’s theme is WOMEN IN CRISIS and that extends to all measure of crisis including matters of identity and personality and we finally cross the Robert Altman threshold for the show. You want to see some troubled women this month? Well, this surreal cult classic has three of them! Yes, we are discussing Altman’s 1977 film “3 WOMEN” starring Shelley Duvall, Sissy Spacek & Janice Rule. Millie Lammeroux is a modern and fashionable woman even if she doesn’t have the friendships and affection that often go along with something like that. Pinky Rose is a blank slate from nowhere Texas who becomes instantly attached to Millie and soon becomes her roommate and biggest admirer. Then there’s this older pregnant woman named Willie who is painting in pools a mythology of the open desert landscape around them all. Somewhere along the way, after some canned pudding is set out, things get frightened and confused. That’s putting it mildly. A dreamy story of desperation and identity and dresses stuck in car doors.
