Penwith Film Society in collaboration with The Ritz Penzance.

Special screening as part of a curated season delivered by The Penwith Film Society.

In a dusty, underpopulated California resort town, a naive southern waif, Pinky Rose, idolises and befriends her fellow nurse, the would-be sophisticate and “thoroughly modern” Millie Lammoreaux.

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 Sissy Spacek and Shelley 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.
