THREE WOMEN (THE CRITERION COLLECTION)

Details

• Release Year: 1977
• Genre: Drama
• Plot: In a dusty, underpopulated California resort town, Pinky Rose (Sissy Spacek), a naïve and impressionable Southern waif from Texas, begins her life as a nursing home attendant. There she finds her role model in fellow nurse 'Thoroughly Modern' Millie Lammoreaux (Shelley Duvall), a misguided would-be sophisticate and hopeless devotee of Cosmopolitan and Woman's Day magazines. When Millie accepts Pinky into her home at the Purple Sage singles' complex, Pinky's hero-worship evolves into something far stranger and more sinister than either could have anticipated. Featuring brilliant performances from Spacek and Duvall, Robert Altman's dreamlike masterpiece 3 Women careens from the humorous to the chilling to the surreal, resulting in one of the most unusual and compelling films of the 1970s.
