Calming and uneasy at once. Colors and design are so cool here
Dreamlike, horrific, and beautiful all at once. Altman truly was a master of his craft, and I wish he made more like this
Beautiful, bewitching, fascinating and captivating story told in a dream-like state.
Very eerie, foreboding and full of odd characters. Definitely worth a watch, if you can get past its slow pace.
one of my top 10 favorites. shares an overarching theme with Mulholland Dr. and Persona of women that essentially become one another.
I was utterly mesmerized. Make sure you have a good audio setup because background conversations are important to the atmosphere.
“I just had the most wonderful dream, I was trying to remember it but I couldn’t”
Beautiful and eerie story of womanhood and identity. The plot twists are intriguing. I really appreciate the coloring and costumes.
A fascinatingly eerie, gently brutal 3 Women is a look into loneliness that only Altman could’ve spruced up.
a very surreal feeling film–its a mediation on the complexities of female-empowerment, and the illusion that such a topic can bring
