This very personal Robert Altman movie based on a dream is, nevertheless, as enthralling as it is entertaining, with keen insights into feminine psychology. An enigmatic chamberwork, as opposed to the orchestrations of the original MASH or his masterpiece, Nashville, this is about the transference of personality. Shelley Duvall is vapidly splendid as the gossipy therapist into whose flat moves the adoring Sissy Spacek, while tongue-tied Janice Rule is the painter formulating fears of male aggression into mythic murals. This is the kind of allusive spellbinder that only cinema can achieve. “Every time I make a movie, it's like jumping off a cliff,” Altman says. Be there to pick up the miraculous pieces.

Watchable - but incomprehensible
This movie appears to have no plot - apparently Altman himself is not sure what the end was about. Still, visually striking and highly watchable.

Film genius on an off day
It's almost 20 years since I saw this film which is quite hard to find (beware an Israeli film of the same name). Robert Altman is a stinking genius and ... more
