The Extraordinary Shelley Duvall

Nov 22—Nov 26, 2024
    Part of
  • BAM Film 2024

“one of the most magnetic on-screen presences of the last century”
—Dazed

When Shelley Duvall passed away earlier this year—the day our tribute to her and Sissy Spacek concluded—the world mourned one of the most unique presences in film history. This program brings back some of the classics we screened in the summer, including Robert Altman’s
3 Women and Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. A strong selection of further titles—including Altman masterpieces Nashville and McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits, and the mid-length rarity Bernice Bobs Her Hair—provides further evidence of Duvall’s unforgettable onscreen effervescence and remarkable range.
