  just when you think you’re starting to understand these women, they morph into something else entirely. they’re dream-like, ethereal, intangible, as if viewed through an opaque silk screen, a forcefield preventing us from fully connecting. meanwhile, the atmosphere is a brilliant, melancholic fog of pastel blues and pinks — a comfortably warm sauna that one enters to bask in, to succumb to, not to overanalyze and stew in. leave it to altman to successfully pull off a cotton candy-colored feature-length homage to persona!

  I made up my personality in a dream. I stole parts of it from every girl I’ve ever met. I liked her hair so it became mine. I liked her jokes and the words she used and her clothes. I mean really are any of us real anyway? Who are we at our core? We’re all just the product of the people around us, taking the parts that we like. Parts of you get taken away all the time too. 

  There’s a constant push and pull with women on what type of woman she should be based on who is surrounding you. Like we’re always being forced into a dichotomy. It’s interesting that this film explores balance in relationships. I…

  Robert Altman’s “3 Women” is a film obsessed with the idea of the gaze. Its stare is so powerful that it turns inward, travels through the navel, and pours out through the distortion of the mind. 

  It’s a fitting journey for a movie born from a dream. Altman’s wife came up with the idea for the plot as she lay in a hospital, near death. 

  Not one to attempt to follow logic -  dream or otherwise - the liminal realm lends itself perfectly to Altman’s meandering storytelling style. The director allows stars Shelley Duvall and Sissy Spacek to improvise their way through large swaths of scenes, giving the film a sensation of drifting through the haze of headspace. 

  It’s not…

  what i loved most about this apart from the very 70s aesthetic is how inconsequential all of the men were

  I wonder how many times Altman has seen Persona and I also wonder how many times Lynch has seen 3 Women
