Here’s a brief clip from the video-essay written/narrated by me about the work of Gena Rowlands, included in the special features on the Criterion release of Love Streams. If you haven’t seen this masterpiece yet, what are you waiting for?
Here’s a piece I wrote about Rowlands, after attending a beautiful QA with her (and she was just as great and tough and funny and glamorous as you would imagine her to be.) Witness to a Legend: The Career of Gena Rowlands.

I think I have come to terms with the fact that I am not smart enough to appreciate John Cassavete movies. I never seem to know what’s going on. But I have loved Gena since I was very young, and I love their relationship (she and John), and I also love to read about YOUR take on them. Thanks Sheila.
