A Woman Under the Influence
The magnificent Gena Rowlands gives one of her greatest performances in writer and director John Cassavetes' masterpiece that's astounding in every way. An unstable woman with slight mental problem is pushed over the edge by her loving but uneducated husband. Rowlands' heartbreaking performance is greatly helped by an equally powerful performance by Peter Falk. Raw and intense and without a false note Cassavetes masterfully peels at the complex relationship of the family and their social network in this beautiful classic. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
