UMA MULHER DIFERENTE

Young, wealthy spinster Frances Austen invites a mute teenager into her apartment after finding him freezing in the park next to where she lives. Despite her best efforts, their lack of communication only increases her sense of loneliness, as her possessiveness spirals into frightening new realms.

Sandy Dennis delivers a chilling performance as a lonely woman torn between the shackles of her class and the promise of ‘60s sexual liberation in Altman’s third feature. A haunting psychodrama that marks some of the director’s key traits: an interest in women’s psychology and formal experiments.
