Minnie and Moskowitz
John Cassavetes, who gave you 'husbands', 'faces', 'shadows', now adds to his list of intriguing characters...
Directed by John Cassavetes
Produced by Universal Pictures
A tender, character-driven romance about two lonely misfits finding unexpected connection despite their differences, grounded in Cassavetes' naturalistic, improvisational style.
Depressed and jaded after being dumped by her married boyfriend, aging beauty Minnie Moore wonders if she'll ever find love. After shaggy-haired parking lot attendant Seymour Moskowitz comes to her defense from an angry and rebuffed blind date, he falls hopelessly in love with her despite their myriad differences. Minnie reluctantly agrees to a date with Moskowitz, and, slowly but surely, an unlikely romance blossoms between the two.
