Minnie and Moskowitz
John Cassavetes (EE.UU. de América, 1971) [114 min]

Sinopsis:

Minnie Moore trabaja en un museo y vive con un hombre que la maltrata. Seymour Moskowitz es un viejo beatnick aparcacoches que no encuentra su lugar en el mundo. No tienen nada en común, excepto su soledad. Se conocen en un parking, cuando Moskowitz defiende a Minnie de la agresión de su acompañante. A pesar de sus diferencias y su amargura, descubren la gran necesidad que tienen el uno del otro. /// Can a straight-laced woman find happiness with a scruffy hippie who has a bad habit of getting beaten up? Minnie Moore (Gena Rowlands) was a prom queen in high school but has become disillusioned with life now that she is a divorcée who has just turned 40. Her marriage ended badly, and her current relationship with her boyfriend Jim (John Cassavetes), who is inconveniently married to another woman, is hardly going any better.

Roger Ebert, en IMDb, escribió:"Minnie and Moskowitz" isn't much like anything Cassavetes has done before, except in its determination to go all the way with actors' performances - even at the cost of the movie's over-all form. Cassavetes, an actor himself, is one of the few American directors who is really sympathetic with actors. He lets them go, lets them try new things and take risks. This can lead to terribly indulgent performances, as it did in "Husbands." But in "Minnie and Moskowitz" it gives us performances by Gena Rowlands and Seymour Cassel that are so beautiful you can hardly believe it.
