The TVI Take
John Cassavetes's 1974 Gena Rowlands-anchored film about a working-class Los Angeles woman whose mental health is deteriorating and her construction-worker husband's inability to help her. The structural commitment to letting Cassavetes's improvisation-from-screenplay method render documentary-grade marital cognitive material — and Rowlands's Oscar-nominated performance — established the canonical Cassavetes work.
