Screening on Film
Directed by Robert Altman.
With Susannah York, René Auberjonois, Hugh Millais.
US/Ireland, 1972, 35mm, color, 101 min.

One of Altman’s most personal and experimental films, and a favorite of his still, Images centers on a woman (York) who, left mostly alone as she stays with her husband in a cottage in Ireland, experiences erotic and violent delusions. Altman’s style, at once wild and carefully controlled, delivers ambiguity to the story as it probes the psyche, history, and temperament of this complicated woman.
