DVD Talk says it's
a relentlessly artsy picture that nevertheless amounts to a good puzzle picture about schizophrenia, experienced from the inside out. Susannah York gives one of her best performances as a woman so mentally fractured that determining what's real and what is not is a fruitless quest.Moria says, "Images is sort of, if one can imagine, Last Year in Marienbad by way of Repulsion (1965)." Roger Ebert praises it saying, "“Images” is a film Altman admirers should make a point of seeing. Its very differences with most of his work help illuminate his style, and he demonstrates superb skill at something he’s supposed to be weak at: telling a well-constructed narrative."

Schizophrenia is often misunderstood, and can take on so many forms. Family members often shove the disease under the rug, and distance themselves from the afflicted. This may well be a good movie, especially if it addresses schizophrenia.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bizarre look through her eyes.
DeleteI came back to make sure you hadn't posted your T post, but it looks like your internet might be out again. I hope you can join us later.
ReplyDeleteI'm just running late ;)
DeleteNever saw this one. Some of his films I like and some I don't care for. This one sounds interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteSusannah York and René Auberjonois were interesting. I agree about Altman. He's not somebody whose films I watch just because he directed it.
