Gena Rowlands Forever: Minnie and Moskowitz 12A
This film is F-Rated
Celebrating the empowerment of women in the film industry. Read more >
Showroom Cinema presents a special tribute to the late, great Gena Rowlands. One of the greatest actors of world cinema and a woman of great influence. This double bill showcases two collaborations with John Cassavetes beyond the more widely-viewed A Woman Under the Influence.
One of the great underrated American films of the 1970s, Minnie and Moskowitz features Rowlands as museum curator Minnie Moore, whose life has not turned out how she expected. She's a divorcee who's just turned 40, with a boyfriend Jim who's married to someone else. A nasty break-up and a blind date that goes horribly wrong lead to a chance encounter with parking lot-attendant Seymour Moskowitz. Seymour falls in love with Minnie at first sight, but can he convince his seemingly polar opposite to feel the same way?
