Movies at the Museum: Jack Pierson Favorites

In 1993, curator Richard Flood interviewed artists for an issue of Frieze, asking them to name their favorite movies. This spring’s movies are three of Jack Pierson’s selections.

About the Film

3 Women
1977

Directed by Robert Altman
124 minutes
Rated PG

In a dusty, under-populated California resort town, a naïve southern waif, Pinky Rose (Sissy Spacek), idolizes and befriends her fellow nurse, Millie Lammoreaux (Shelley Duvall). When Millie takes Pinky in as her roommate, their relationship grows until the introduction of artist Willie (Janice Rule) to the dynamic. This dreamlike masterpiece careens from the humorous to the chilling to the surreal.
