3 WOMEN (1977)

Cast

Plot

In a dusty, under-populated California resort town, Pinky Rose, a naïve and impressionable Southern waif, begins her life as a nursing home attendant. There, Pinky finds her role model in fellow nurse "Thoroughly Modern" Millie Lammoreaux, a misguided would-be sophisticate and hopeless devotee of Cosmopolitan and Woman's Day magazines. When Millie accepts Pinky into her home at the Purple Sage singles' complex, Pinky's hero-worship evolves into something far stranger and more sinister than either could have anticipated. Robert Altman's dreamlike masterpiece, 3 Women, careens from the humorous to the chilling to the surreal, a hypnotic, disturbing and original look at obsession.
