Minnie and Moskowitz (1972)

I enjoyed this movie very much. It begins by introducing us to two characters and follows a day or two in their lives. They are both single and appear to be in their mid-late 30s, which is my age range so this struck a chord with me.

The first is Seymour Moskowitz (Seymour Cassell); who is a single guy working as a valet. When he's off work he likes to have a drink or two at the bar.

Then Minnie (Gena Rowlands); she spends her time watching old movies on the big screen. She's also in a bad relationship and disillusioned about love and romance.

The two eventually meet, and the rest of the movie we see their relationship form. Them film feels so realistic the way it's filmed, and the dialogue feels so genuine and real. Great performances, a great Cassavetes film.
