Remembering Gena Rowlands

The word “maverick” is often used to describe the kind of independent filmmaking Gena Rowlands and her husband John Cassavetes made together. But being fierce, fearless, and radical is an essential part of all of Rowland's screen performances in their own right. It is a quality which makes her impossible to take your eyes off. Her beauty, which was considerable, might draw you in but the authenticity of every gesture, line delivery, facial expression is what keeps you there. The skill of making every performance appear spontaneous and natural is unparalleled. And the result? Characters like Gloria, Mabel and Myrtle gloriously come to life - full of messy joy and pain. If you've never seen this truly iconic actor in action or want to revisit her genius on the big screen, join us for this small tribute to the one, and only, Gena Rowlands.

She was one of the greats.
