(Tried everything, couldn't find a thread on this. It should be here.)
"There's a good ghost then." A "Psycho" companion, down to a shower-scene scream. Film is a merry-go-round of the hallucinations of a woman going mad. And because she catches on to the fact that they are hallucinations, she feels free to kill the hallucinated people therein. Which works fine, up to a point--the latter being the bitter end. This end is prefaced by an oddly privileged moment, when Cathryn, driving at night, in the rain, is beaming with (misguided) satisfaction, and she's bathed in a panoply of prettily-colored lights. Earlier, she sees dead bodies lying around, and there's even a bit of shotgun blood and gore. Even the end credits take up this schizoid theme: "Cathryn Harrison was Susannah. Susannah York was Cathryn." Robert Altman is playing with our minds, and eyes. As a whole, the film may not be quite satisfying, but there are also many lovely widescreen far shots of the Irish countryside.![🙂]()
