We watched part of Cassavetes' A Woman Under the Influence (1974). After about an hour, it was clear it was just going to be painful bullshit going nowhere, and I remembered that the last person who'd watched it had apparently left half of the videotape unwatched. I fast-forwarded through the remainder to see if anything was going to happen. SPOILER: nope. Before that, we saw Where the Rivers Flow North (1993). The same old story of the individual standing up against the big, bad, corporations, but it was still better than the Cassavetes thing. Tantoo Cardinal was great. Maybe she was one of the reasons that I liked Black Robe (1991) so much.
