This week’s throwback trailer is for director Robert Altman’s 1976 psychological horror thriller picture. The film delves into the fractured psyche of pregnant children’s book author Catherine.
Catherine retreats to a secluded country house with her husband Hugh, hoping to find a quiet working environment. However, as she experiences increasingly disturbing hallucinations, her fragile mental state begins to unravel.
She is haunted by visions of her dead love Rene and another mysterious man Marcel, leading her to question what is real and what is a figment of her imagination. As Catherine’s paranoia escalates, the lines between reality and fantasy blur, and she becomes locked in a nightmarish battle with her own mind.
The film is a disorienting and surreal viewing experience, as Altman uses unconventional sound design, eerie visuals, and an ambiguous storyline to create an unsettling atmosphere.
