About Gena Rowlands: A Life on Film
An intimate portrait of the superb actress Gena Rowlands, icon of independent cinema. Together with her husband, legendary director John Cassavetes (1929-89), she lived an unusual life beyond the dream factory, a life in which reality and fiction were so perfectly intertwined that it made possible films that still today seem incredibly real.
Directed by Sabine Carbon, Gena Rowlands: A Life on Film leans on a strong ensemble — Eva Gosciejewicz, Gena Rowlands, Greg Gorman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2019.
