''Images'' is a 1972 PsychologicalThriller written and directed by Creator/RobertAltman.
Cathryn (Susannah York) lives in Ireland with her American husband Hugh (René Auberjonois). She's writing a children's book while he's frequently away on business. When he's home, they socialize with their old friend Marcel (Hugh Millais) and his teenage daughter Susannah (Cathryn Harrison).
Any attempt to explain the story beyond that runs into some complications, because this is a major MindScrew of a film. Cathryn's relationship to reality isn't very close to begin with, and it gets more and more tenuous as the film goes along. For example, she keeps encountering René (Marcel Bozzuffi), an old lover who may or may not be dead. As events grow more tense, Cathryn is forced to confront her personal demons as she finally sorts out reality from hallucination.
Or maybe not.
One of the few films Altman wrote by himself, it remains a little-seen but fascinating curio in his vast filmography.
!!This film provides examples of:
* LossOfIdentity: Going along with her clashing perceptions of reality, Cathryn seems to be unsure of exactly who she is.
* MindScrew: Hell, the ''characters'' seem perplexed by what's happening; even after the film ends you'll still have lots of questions.
