Watch it! 3 Women is a masterpiece. I often fantasize how different the film landscape would be today if the box office numbers for it and Star Wars (released the same year) were flip flopped.

Haha. Well, keep in mind that when I say that, I hate Star Wars. :)
I think you and I have very different tastes (based on our postings in Mefi movie threads). I think at the least you'll find it unique and thought-provoking. I was very moved by the film--it reminded me of a number of people in my life. I saw it while blocked on a screenplay I still haven't cracked to this day. I sat down immediately after watching 3 Women and wrote a different script--far too autobiographical and derivative--in 37 hours straight. Last year a director who'd been handed the screenplay by a friend of a friend called me out of the blue and as a result I flew to LA for the first time. (It didn't work out but man did I love the city and I'm desperate to return). I'll be forever thankful to 3 Women for that alone.
The Criterion dvd also has an interesting commentary by Altman if you enjoy listening to those types of things. I look forward to your critique.

To continue the happy Three Women derail, that's a top ten movie for me, keeping company with the likes of Ordet, La Dolce Vita, Safe, and L'ecole. If you love Picnic at Hanging Rock you'll probably dig it--similar eerie uber-feminized dreamscape quality and concerns.

Anyone here ever see the documentary film shot on location of The Shining? Cast members are interviewed literally on their filming breaks, it's really an amazing little movie. Nicholson is on fire, on top of the world, at the top of his game. The swagger and confidence in full effect, the glint in his eye like a dagger. Shelley Duval is, well, essentially traumatized by cruel taskmaster Stanley Kubrick. Psychologically traumatized. She's practically trembling. You see just how he got that incredible, wracked-with-fear performance out of her: she was terrorized! It's brutal, really, almost painful to see her interview segments. Kubrick got a once-in-a-lifetime performance out of her, but at a high cost, I'm afraid.

"Three Women"? That's the one where you get Sissy Spacek vacuuming the carpet naked, if I'm not mistaken. The outrageous success of "Star Wars" happened in part because people were really sick and tired of seeing Shelly Duvall and Sissy Spacek and Kevin Carradine and the rest of the cocaine crowd meandering self-indulgently through barely scripted films, hoping they'd stumble into a masterpiece. "Star Wars" seemed so clear and sane and purposeful, it tore down the house of 70s filmmaking, and created its own wave of idiocy, hard and fascistic, that makes the old days of drug-addled Robert Altman and friends look gentle and loveably homemade. Anyhow, Shelly Duvall on "Fairy Tale Theater" was her climbing out of the wreckage of her 1970s alt-star reputation, and trying for a piece of that post-"Star Wars" mainstream fantasy goodness. She still looks like a marijuana cigarette wrapped too-tightly at the top and dribbling out of its skirts at the bottom.

3 Women was a California stoner's remake of Persona - only without the narrative energy. [What's Swedish for "hamburger"?]
In other words: You could recommend it to someone and have them like it - in the same way that a Little League baseball player might swing with closed eyes against a Tom Seaver pitch and knock it out of the park. It wouldn't violate the laws of physics... but don't bet the ranch on it.

Man, I saw 3 Women in a tiny university theater, and we got there late so we had to sit way over on the side, where the view of the screen was all distorted. The movie was all incredibly tall and skinny people, but the cars they rode in were all short and fat. It was like watching circus clowns when they got in or out. Couldn't stop laughing for the whole movie. We got shushed.

I saw Persona after Three Women because of the connection and this is an unpopular view (suppose I've lots of those, ah well) but I was totally underwhelmed. I'll admit I seem to have some kind of Bergmann block though and it only gets worse; I remember worshipping The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries in high school and then rewatched both in the past 2 years 'cause the husband hadn't seen them and I was shocked to find they didn't move me like before. (I blame Andrei Rublev among other things...) Whelp, that was quite a derail. Anyway, I freaking love Duvall and am always intrigued so many don't (those unpopular tastes again...I don't get the fuss over Godard either, different strokes!).

It's Keith Carradine, not Kevin. And the number one box office draws of 1973-1979 were "The Exorcist," "The Towering Inferno," "Jaws," "Rocky," "Star Wars," "Grease," and "Kramer vs. Kramer," so I'm not convinced that the "cocaine crowd" and their "drug-addled" scripts had quite the monolithic stranglehold on moviegoers that you seem to think.

Like Kris10_b, I also used to watch Faerie Tale Theatre as a kid, and I remember enjoying these episodes immensely. Nice to be reminded of it (albeit in a spooky way).
Looking over all the shows (the series spanned 6 seasons), there were an impressive number of stars who participated. For example: Eric Idle and Robin Williams in The Tale of the Frog Prince; Billy Crystal, Jeff Goldblum and Fred Willard in The Three Little Pigs; and, believe it or not, Mick Jagger in The Nightingale.
I saw a few months ago that Faerie Tale Theatre was available on Netflix via their instant streaming. Just found out that full episodes are available on Hulu (and IMDB).
The episodes don't really hold up to my childhood memories, unfortunately... but I still have a soft spot for this series.

I had no respect for Shelley Duvall after seeing the wonderful "Making of The Shining" (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4).
Her interview is part 3, about 50 seconds in and is immediately followed by an incredibly over the top on set diva break down that Kubrick wants no part in. Kubrick and Nicholson seem to get along as two professionals at the top of the game having to deal with the mess that is Shelley Duvall not being the center of attention.

Jack Nicholson has repeatedly said that the job that she did in "The Shining" was the toughest he had ever seen an actor have. He also said Kubrick was a different director for Duvall. She was constantly badgered by Kubrick during filming to ensure she was in near hysterics for the filming (nearly a year). She tells a story that she had to carry bottles of water around the set because she cried so much she was often dehydrated to the point of not being able to cry anymore. In that doc you mention there is even a scence where Kubrick goes around telling people to "don't sympatize with Shelley". He also reportedly made Scatman Crothers break down crying at a one point. Not that I am saying what Kubrick did was wrong, he is one of my personal favorites and knew how to get the appropriate response from his actors, but to say Duvall was a diva is a bit unfair, especially when the documentary used as evidence was made by Kubrick's daughter who may not have had the most motivation to show his techniques in a negative light.

Upon reflection, it is clear. The intent in making Duvallaanisqatsi was to expose the built faerie world all around us. Cleverly starting off with a black screen, the scenes behind Shelley Duvall gradually develop from a blur into lush environments. With the second background, you see the transition - the studio, basically reality, fading away. Soon the sound of her introductions no longer transfix the viewer, but instead begin to slide into the background themselves.
You are left with the increasingly dense milieus you have heretofore only given attention to with your subconscious. Greenery, castles, distant civilizations, far off forests. And then in the final few backgrounds, the piece culminates with the mind being taken through the gates - past the point of no return, into a room full of treasures for the mind. The penultimate scene is literal nothingness - the chasm of infinity the mind can create. Blurry formless clouds and Duval atop a mound of inscrutable construction.
This is not simply a repetitive oddity, a 55-second diversionary paramecium in the body of the internet. It is a work of psychiatric mastery woven into the brain, pulling at the creative soul of humanity.

I loved Shelley Duvall as L.A. Joan in "Nashville."

I have nothing to add, other than I love Shelley Duvall. And I own the entire boxed set of Faerie Tale Theatre, on dvd, that I got as a gift from my bff, last Christmas. Yes.
