Movie Review: intriguing altman - haunting mood piece
Summary: 5 Stars
Sorry to see this has gone out of print. What made me think of this film was that I was just responding to a question: "What films are similar to David Cronenberg's Spider that you would recommend?" and this strange, beautiful film from 1972 came to mind. There are similarities between the two in my mind. Both films do a very deft job of placing you in the mind of the main character. This is a hauntingly beautiful film. When I watched it again before this review I was reminded of the Robert Altman style: slowing going in on objects and characters as the scene unfolds. Vilmos Zsigmond's lighting photography is wonderful. He captures Ireland in the moodiest of ways. If memory serves me correctly he was also his own camera operator on this as well (I may be wrong. Please correct me if I am). Special mention goes also to John Williams's wonderful avant garde score. If you are used to Star Wars and E.T., this is in a completely different vein. It is a close cousin (to me anyway) of his flute concerto from 1969. Please view this wonderful film. If you are at all a fan of Robert Altman or you enjoy psychological pieces (David Cronenberg's Spider does come to mind) then I would recommend you check this out. In the dark preferably.
Summary of Images
"One of the most important American directors of our time" (Life), Oscar(r) nominee* Robert Altman delivers a "fascinating [and] compelling" (Interview) thriller that delivers an "original cinematic jolt" (Playboy)! Susannah York, who won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival for her role, is "spellbinding" (Filmex) as a woman whose psychological demons are becoming quite real! Suffering from schizophrenia, Cathryn (York) can't seem to shake her hallucinatory apparitions. Unable to bear the torture any longer, she decides there's onlyone way to clear her mind: Kill the people haunting her in her visions. So one by one, she offs herghosts. But are the people she's killing just figments of her imagination or are they real? *Director: Gosford Park (2001), Short Cuts (1993), The Player (1992), Nashville (1975), M*A*S*H (1970); Best Picture: Gosford Park (2001, with Bob Balaban, David Levy), Nashville (1975)Effectively a "lost film" soon after its original release, this dreamlike yet razor-sharp movie from the amazing early-'70s arc of Robert Altman's career was among the most mesmerizingly beautiful color films ever made. Where on this planet did Altman and cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond find such colors, such an awesome fairy-tale landscape? (Ireland, as it happens.) Even more extraordinary was the inside/outside landscape of the heroine's consciousness: this is a movie in which madness is inseparable from imagination. Susannah York gives a brave, supernally freaky performance as a married woman who may be an adulteress, may only be fantasizing about it, may be pregnant, may merely be giving birth to a world. Ren? Auberjonois, Hugh Millais (McCabe and Mrs. Miller's fur-clad assassin), and Marcel Bozzufi play the men in her life, some of whom may be dead, some of whom are going to be. They all exchange names at various times as Cathryn meets herself coming and going, in search of unicorns. --Richard T. Jameson
