"3 Women unfolds in Southern California's hazy desert, where Millie's breezy, talkative nature entrances her naïve new roommate/coworker, Pinky. Hovering at the edge of the narrative, stoic artist Willie paints an eerie, reptilian mural in an emptied swimming pool."
"Millie and Pinky become friends and enemies at different points. Like many such relationships, one of them wants what the other has, while the other has much less than it appears."
"Duvall's fragile, funny performance in 3 Women spotlights her singular presence and deep artistic connection with Altman. Dreamers should see it."
May Day's ancient ties to the Roman festival Floralia inspire local cinemas to showcase surreal films. The Clinton Street Theater and Tomorrow Theater present screening series featuring works by David Lynch, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Robert Altman. Altman's 3 Women, a psychodrama set in Southern California, explores complex relationships between characters Millie and Pinky. The film highlights Duvall's performance and artistic connection with Altman. The Clinton Street series offers a more ambiguous and esoteric selection of surrealist cinema, appealing to fans of the uncanny.
