Screening on Film
Directed by Robert Altman.

US/Ireland, 1972, 35mm, color, 101 min.

One of maverick director Robert Altman’s most personal and experimental films, and a favorite of his still, Images centers on a woman who experiences erotic and violent delusions when left mostly alone in her husband’s cottage in Ireland. 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, played with depth by Susannah York.
