3 WOMEN (1977) - Part Fourteen

3 Women is Robert Altman's most unconventional of films. In fact, the film doesn't really have a genre. One could say it's a drama, but the film is to comical to really be seen as dramatic. The film could be called a comedy, but it has so many points of horror to keep that brand. You can also claim it as a horror film, but the terror is nowhere near as consistent to actually be seen as a horror film. It is all three of those genres, yes. But it is not solely one or the other, and had I categorized DVDs at a video store, I would make it have its very own shelf. 3 Women is almost impossible to review, or talk about, because the film is just so complex and dreamy. It's unforgettable, for sure, and it stirs one's thoughts. But it is still on the verge of impossible to carry on a conversation about the film. 3 Women is a masterpiece, and it is worth seeking out. Even if you may not understand a bit of it.

oh for gods sake, i'll watch any movie i want, and then decide if i like it or not. i am so sick of people on youtube saying that to other people, "oh, if you hate it then why are you watching it?" how else are people supposed to form opinions? get real.

You think 3 women is trippy ,try to see his film Images , Susannah York having a breakdown in the Irish countryside, through clever editing and camera angles its the closest film that totally blurs reality and and what pschychiatrists call hallucination. Totally hypnotic and terrifying. You Americans should treasure Bob Altman you'll never get another another like him

People who chew gum should be sanctioned! It is bad for the digestion. I was happy to see so little of it here in France, my new home. Thank you so much for this! Uprated. Hardly anyone does, the ingrates. They just watch. We got this legally on DVD this past week but I like looking at this in segments like this. My best to you from originally the USA! Very spooky movie, gave me nightmares.

Maybe I'm just not good at analyzing or interpretation, but I don't think I "get" this movie. :/

I've wanted to see this for some time. It is great. Thanks.

A reading: When the divided self (whose consciousness/ego is Millie) ignores its conscience (Pinky) the conscience gets sick. It then can't be healed by what it is meant to encompass nor heal itself. This prevents a new innocent conscience being born/reborn (Willie's still born child). The conscience becomes a nuisance. What is left of it that is good is old, paralysed to act but says, "I don't know why you have to be so mean to it."
