Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaActress Susannah York mentioned to director Robert Altman during one of the films pre-shooting sessions how she was writing a children's book called "In Search of Unicorns". Altman asked to read it. By the time he had finished the tale, Altman had decided to make York's character in the film a writer of children's' tales and asked York to quote parts of the fairy-tale in the movie. York received a writing credit for the film as the text was from her book. As such, the film represents actress York's film debut as a writer.
Featured review
Terrifying
Images is a disorienting and hallucinatory experiment in psychological horror, in which the audience is forced to share in the protagonist's confusion. In order to depict the world from her perspective, the camera becomes an unreliable narrator. The film is full of jarring editing: jumps and overlaps in time and abrupt changes in the actors in the scene. Its soundscape is a deliberate combination of realism and expressionist experience, including a recurring voiceover of the fantasy story the protagonist is writing in her head and a contrasting musical score that shifts suddenly from melodic to jangling, percussive, and eerie. Unlikely to appeal to everyone, Images is a conceptually terrifying film, effective in its execution.
