Before I watched

The Red Zone yesterday I watched Minnie and Moskowitz.  Why is it I keep drawing these really depressing films when I first turn on the television these days?

Gena Rowlands
The film is definitely an emotional workout and it really reminded me of Todd Solondz' films.  I am not v familiar with Cassavetes' work but it looks like he is one of Solondz' biggest influences.  There were a lot of scenes in Minnie that provoked such uncomfortable and painful laughter from me.

Still, it was great to see Max Fischer's dad (Seymour Cassel) and Gena Rowlands certainly was v pretty.  (But her character is named Minnie Moore and they really did kind of make her look like Minnie Mouse.)
