In this installment of our Female Psychopath Series, we dive into Robert Altman’s 1972 psychological thriller Images, exploring the unraveling psyche of protagonist Cathryn. Is she experiencing a full psychotic break or something more nuanced? We offer a clinical lens on her symptoms and propose a specific psychological diagnosis, while also reacting to the film’s surreal tone, eerie visuals, and narrative ambiguity.

Blending psychological insight with our usual conversational flair, we untangle Altman’s portrayal of dissociation, identity confusion, and trauma-induced hallucinations. We also offer up our personal reactions, theories, and questions about what’s real vs. imagined, and why Images deserves a spot in any horror-psychology lover’s watchlist.

Listen now to explore the disturbing beauty of Images through a psychological lens!
