A horror film by Robert Altman!
30 March 2018
Altman's only horror film. It stars Susannah York as a woman suffering from schizophrenia. She's married but keeps seeing--and hearing--dead lovers from the past who torment her. Then she starts seeing people who are still alive and can't tell if they're real or not. What will she do?

Unsettling film. It's shot in stark, bleak landscapes and has a VERY unnerving score from a young John Williams. This is unlike anything Altman ever did. Him and York in fact wrote the movie together. The acting is excellent and the film has a satisfying ending. It was not a big success and Altman never tried another film like this. It's fallen into obscurity which is a shame--it's really not that bad. Worth a look.
