(John Cassavetes, US 1984, 141 min.)

Robert (John Cassavetes), reunited with the child he never knew, is a man unable to love. His sister Sarah (Gena Rowlands) loves too much, and it’s cost her the custody of her daughter. When Sarah comes to visit Robert, it leads to a series of sequences that are alternately funny, life-affirming, and devastating. Cassavetes’ final masterpiece is a “rich, original, emotionally magnificent film”—Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader.
