ONLINE DOSSIER: 3 WOMEN (BY ROBERT ALTMAN)

Screenshots from 3 Women.

Robert Altman had a dream, wrote it down and made a movie: 3 Women. How impressive is this backstory?

This movie about femininity (from a male perspective) has dreamlike visuals. It feels like a girly movie, everything in pink and yellow. Simply neat and cute. Until the plot changes and becomes dark and possibly evil. I am wondering, if I could have something similar in my series. So far I do have a “mood change” but rather from melancholic to fun.

Like in my project, water and reflections are an ongoing theme. I find it intriguing that there is no real conclusion to the movie, not a concrete ending. Which again, makes it feel like a dream.

For me and my project, I find the narrative style relevant, as it comes across as one thing but has an underlying layer that makes it interesting and more dimensional.
