Product Description
The early seventies were a period of remarkable activity for Robert Altman, producing masterpiece after masterpiece. At the time he came to make Images, MASH and McCabe & Mrs. Miller were behind him, with The Long Goodbye, California Split and Nashville still to come.
Originally conceived in the mid-sixties, Images concerns a pregnant children’s author (Susannah York, who won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival) whose husband (Rene Auberjonois) may or may not be having an affair. While on vacation in Ireland, her mental state becomes increasingly unstable resulting in paranoia, hallucinations and visions of a doppelgänger.
Scored by an Oscar-nominated John Williams, with “sounds” by Stomu Yamash'ta (The Man Who Fell to Earth), Images also boasts the remarkable cinematography of Vilmos Zsigmond (Close Encounters of the Third Kind).

This movie is superb. I'm surprised it does not have vast notoriety; it certainly deserves that. It is extremely weird and dreamy and it is an artistic masterpiece on several levels. It is visually beautiful throughout, and the performances are first-rate. Ms. York is astonishingly convincing. My wife and I had to pause this movie about a half dozen times to catch our breath from the tension. The music and audio effects are the gold-standard for a horror movie (which I believe was composed by John Williams; this movie has major talent from top to bottom).
I enjoyed the movie "Nashville" (another Altman film) and now having watched this I am forever a Robert Altman fan. I'm going to buy or rent all his other films and examine them closely. This guy is obviously a certified genius, and I realize I've been missing out on someone of the magniutude of Stanley Kubrick, my favortie director. In fact, as I was watching this I kept thinking of "The Shining"; the fear, curiosity, and dread I felt during this film were very similar to what I felt during "The Shining." This movie couldn't be more different from "Nashville," which yet again brings to mind Kubrick, whose films were all so different from one another. I love virtuosity in any discipline--and I feel it is best displayed in diversity. These gentlemen definitely show diversity in their works.
I don't want to comment on too many particular events or aspects of this movie because the "unknown" progressions will be important for you. Suffice it to say that if you enjoy horror or thriller films, this will be one of your favorites. I should clarify one issue: is this movie supernatural horror or psychological horror? Some folks prefer one type and shun the other. Answer: both groups will be very pleased, and the distinction is all but moot by the end of this movie where reality is not quite ascertainable throughout.
This is easily in the top ten of my favorites in my voluminous collection. It gets 100 points out of a possible 100. Others in the same league: "The Legend of Hell House" ( w/Roddy McDowell); "The Haunting" (the 1964 B&W original); "Burnt Offerings" (w/ Karen Black); "The Shining"; "The Innocents"; "Death Bed--the Bed That Eats" (really--another obscure gem); "The Changeling" (w/ George C. Scott); "Phantasm".
Whenever I discover such an awesome film as this--which has been around for 35 years!!--it brings to mind the question: what other masterpieces are there out there which I have yet to discover?? The search continues for more ultimate films....

Robert Altman nous maintient de bout en bout en tension et en plein doute: les visions cauchemardesques de l'héroïne appartiennent-elles ou non à un présent et à un passé qui ont réellement existé? Les trois hommes qui l'entourent à savoir son mari Hugh (René Auberjonois), son amant français décédé René (Marcel Bozzuffi), et son amant présent Marcel (Hugh Millais) existent-ils ou ont-ils vraiment existé?
La bande son sobre et efficace signée John Williams ponctue chaque évolution de la progression du mal qui ronge Cathryn. Les splendides décors naturels irlandais chargés de légendes accentuent l'isolement de cette femme coupée du reste du monde et tranchent avec les décors blancs comme ceux d'un hôpital psychiatrique où se retrouve l'héroïne lorsqu'elle quitte ses cauchemars éveillés pour plonger dans un cauchemar encore plus terrible: celui de la réalité de son état psychique.
Un grand film qui va bien au-delà des habituels thrillers psychologiques.
Any other experience of this?
What is correct setting for English?
Thank you
un capolavoro sconosciuto ai più che merita di essere visto e rivisto
bella edizione anche se scarna di contenuti extra (comprensibile dal momento che come tutti i film più datati non è semplice reperire materiali degni di interesse con cui arricchire DVD e Blu Ray
