A Woman Under The Influence

Check this out!

A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE

975, John Cassavetes, USA, 155 min.
With Gena Rowlands, Peter Falk

"Perhaps the greatest of Cassavetes' films."—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Under the influence of the man she loves (Falk), Mabel Longhetti (Rowlands in an Oscar-nominated performance) is driven in circles by the irascible demands and well-meaning emotional violence of her husband, three children, and testy mother-in-law. Cassavetes’s amazing insight into family life rips into conventional ideas of what constitutes “madness” versus what constitutes “sanity.”
