A Brand-New Woman at MoMA
For Halloween week, the Museum of Modern Art is showcasing a different kind of horror film. John Cassavetes’s domestic meltdown epic A Woman Under the Influence (which Kent Jones calls “alternately soaring and gut-wrenching” in his Criterion essay) is playing until October 30, in a new, restored print inaugurating MoMA’s seventh annual international festival of film preservation, To Save and Project. And even if you’re not in the New York area, you can read Keith Uhlich’s new interview with the scary-good Gena Rowlands in Time Out New York, in which the actress, whose disturbed protagonist Mabel is one of cinema’s most heartbreaking creations, provides a little insight into Cassavetes’s motivations for making the movie: “His feeling was that the world is set up to drive women crazy.”
