Overview

John Cassavetes' drama stars Gena Rowlands and Peter Falk as a blue-collar couple struggling to cope with the wife's slide into mental illness. Arguably Cassavetes' most popular and influential film, A Woman Under the Influence is a key work from a golden era of American independent filmmaking, and as powerful and devastating today as it was when it was first released.
