SUMMARY:3 Women / Come Back to the 5 & Dime Jimmy Dean\, Jimmy Dean
DESCRIPTION:Admission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be 
 assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are 
 assigned on a first come\, first served basis. The box office opens one 
 hour before the event.\n \n\n3 Women\n\nU.S.\, 1977\n\nRobert Altman has 
 said that the idea for 3 Women came to him in a dream with the heavy 
 influence of Ingmar Bergman’s Persona also contributing to what is one of 
 Altman’s most enigmatic works. Water\, reflections\, split frames and 
 other devices add an atmosphere of European-style ambiguity to an 
 exploration of female identity and solidarity while the film’s distinctly 
 American setting keeps everything solidly grounded. Shelley Duvall\, Sissy 
 Spacek and Janice Rule each deliver astonishing performances as women in a 
 California desert town whose lives intersect and lose their fixity under 
 the pressure of patriarchy and consumerism.\n\nDCP\, color\, 124 min. 
 Director: Robert Altman. Screenwriter: Robert Altman. With: Shelley 
 Duvall\, Sissy Spacek\, Janice Rule.\n \n\nCome Back to the 5 & Dime Jimmy 
 Dean\, Jimmy Dean\n\nU.S.\, 1982\n\nRobert Altman directed Ed Graczyk’s 
 play on Broadway (with Cher making her theatrical stage debut) before he 
 and Graczyk adapted it for the big screen. Ingenious art design transforms 
 a Woolworth’s in a small Texas town near the site where Giant was shot 
 into a vortex of memories and revelations when the members of a James Dean 
 fan club gather there for a 20th anniversary reunion. Altman’s fluid 
 choreography between past and present underscore the powerful draw of 
 nostalgia for some and the liberation of escape for others. Among the 
 stellar ensemble cast\, Karen Black delivers a particularly complex turn as 
 a trans woman returned to confront the trauma that drove her away. \n\n35mm 
 color\, 109 min. Director: Robert Altman. Screenwriter: Ed Graczyk. With: 
 Sandy Dennis\, Cher\, Karen Black.\n\n—Senior Public Programmer Paul
