Free

1997, 100 min, color, 35mm | Written by John Cassavetes; directed by Nick Cassavetes; with Sean Penn, Robin Wright, Harry Dean Stanton, Debi Mazar, John Travolta

Includes a conversation with 2017 Film Independent Spirit John Cassavetes Award Nominees

For our annual salute to Film Independent’s Cassavetes Award nominees, we screen a film by the influential and inspirational movie figure John Cassavetes. Commemorating its 20th anniversary this year, She’s So Lovely comes from a Cassavetes script that the ambitious writer, director, and actor was unable to make before his death; his son, actor/director Nick Cassavetes, picked up the mantle and directed this drama about the tumult in the marriage of the reliable Eddie (Sean Penn) and his self-destructive wife, Maureen (Robin Wright). The younger Cassavetes assembled an able cast that included James Gandolfini, John Travolta, and his motherand longtime collaborator with his dadGena Rowlands.
