Book Presentation:
"Justin Wyatt's study of Robert Altman's 3 Women (1977) considers four distinct aspects of the film: the function of space and Altman's ability to guide the action through the careful unfolding of the mise-en-scene; the critique of social and sexual manners; the construction of Shelley Duvall's impressive performance; and the ways through which the film can be interpreted generically as alternately a psychological drama, a puzzle film, a dark comedy, and a horror film"
