In a dusty, underpopulated California resort town, a naive southern waif, Pinky Rose (Sissy Spacek), idolizes and befriends her fellow nurse, the would-be sophisticate and “thoroughly modern” Millie Lammoreaux (Shelley Duvall). When Millie takes Pinky in as her roommate, Pinky’s hero worship evolves into something far stranger and more sinister than either could have anticipated. Featuring brilliant performances from Spacek and Duvall, this dreamlike masterpiece from Robert Altman careens from the humorous to the chilling to the surreal, resulting in one of the most unusual and compelling films of the 1970s.

 

The curatorial team of Ornamenta 2024 is exploring different locations during their stays in Pforzheim. During the September focus week the curatorial team will live, work and meet at the Koki and its surroundings. As a closing event to this week Jules van den Langenberg, Willem Schenk and Katharina Wahl are excited to share “3 Women” with the Pforzheimers!
