Description
Cast: John Cassavetes, Gena Rowlands, Seymour Cassel
Robert (Cassavetes), reunited with the child he never knew, is a man unable to love. His sister Sarah (Rowlands) loves too much, and it’s cost her the custody of her daughter. When Sarah comes to visit Robert, it leads to a series of sequences that are alternately funny, life affirming, and devastating. Cassavetes’ final masterpiece is a “rich, original, emotionally magnificent film.” (Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader)
