A Woman Under the Influence

John Cassavetes was an American genius. There is a distinctively American flavor to his filmmaking – these stories feel like they can only be told in our suburbs or modern society. A Woman Under the Influence is the first film that I saw from him, and it remains my favorite.

Mabel, a wife and mother, is loved by her husband Nick but her madness proves to be a problem in the marriage. The film transpires to a positive role of madness in the family, challenging conventional representations of madness in cinema.
