Our take
Focusing on the unstable psychology of a woman writer, Robert Altman’s ‘70s fever dream blurs the lines between fantasy and reality. Shot in impressionistic strokes by Vilmos Zsigmond and haunted by John Williams’ eerie score, this dreamlike psych-horror won Susannah York Best Actress at Cannes.
