John Cassavetes’ uncompromising portrait of domestic turmoil depicts the emotional breakdown of a suburban housewife, and explores the psychological toll of the expectations faced by contemporary women.

Peter Falk and Gena Rowlands give unforgettable performances as a married couple deeply in love, yet unable to express that love in terms the other can understand. Offering no consolation and no resolution, Cassavetes’ landmark work of American cinema delivers a vivid and chaotic slice of 70s blue-collar life.
