Watch This: John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands Talk Work and Life Together

Cassavetes/Rowlands is the focus of our December Essential Cinema—showcasing some of the best performances between on and off-screen partners, actor-director John Cassavetes and his frequent collaborator, and wife, actress Gena Rowlands. Together they found emotional truth in some of the most important and influential films of their era. The series begins this Thursday, December 5, at 7 PM with MINNIE & MOSKOWITZ and also includes A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE, OPENING NIGHT, and GLORIA throughout the month.

To kick things off, we are sharing a candid interview with these two giants of cinema history as they talk about collaborating in work and life, their creative choices, making movies outside of the studio system, and above all else their mutual admiration and respect for one another.
