Kurzbeschreibung
John Cassavetes paints another portrait of humans at dangerously fragile places in their emotional lives, but this time with a lighthearted comic touch. Moskowitz (Cassavetes regular Seymour Cassel) is a nutty parking lot attendant who decides to head for California. Minnie (Cassavetes's wife, Gena Rowlands) is a museum curator whose relationship with a married man hits a dead end, thereby forcing her back into the dating world. When Moskowitz protects Minnie from a desperate suitor, a relationship forms that is at first raucous and bitter; eventually, however, the pair begins to realise that their differences pale in comparison to their inexplicable need to be together. After a vicious argument, they decide to give in and attempt a genuine partnership. As with all of Cassavetes's directorial efforts, this film isn't so much a traditional narrative as it is a series of seemingly insignificant moments that are at once emotional and strikingly honest. This is exemplified by the opening scene in a diner, where Cassel is hassled by a fellow customer, an off-the-wall individual who spouts beliefs and asks questions--that don't fully resonate until the final credits have rolled.
Rezension
The movie is sort of a fairy tale, Cassavetes says; it's dedicated to all the people who didn't marry the person they should have. It is a movie on the side of love, and it is one of the finest movies of the year (Chicago Sun-Times)
Takes the opportunity to have a dig at Hollywood and its phoney ideas of romance .... It is probably his warmest and most genial (Film4)

Nach dem für den gemeinen Kino- bzw DVD- Zuschauer überfordernden schwarz- weiss 2 - Ehepaare Beziehungsdrama "Faces" in Zusammenarbeit mit Ehefrau und Muse Gena Rowlands lieferte der leider viel zu früh verstorbene John Cassavetes wohl den unterhaltsamsten Film seiner Karriere ab.
Die auch schon in den 40ern angekommene Museumsangestellte Minnie, die ein unglückliches Verhältnis mit dem verheirateten John Cassavetes hat, und sich mit ihrer besten Freundin gerne in die "Casablanca" Celluloidillusion flüchtet, lernt den wenig ambitionierten Parkplatzwächter Moskowitz (Stammschauspieler Seymour Cassel aus "Faces" und "Love Streams") kennen und lieben.
Der Cassavetes off - Stil bleibt auch in diesem Film vor allem schnitttechnisch erhalten, er hat aber selten einen leichteren und lebensbejahenderen Stoff geschrieben.
Die Konfrontation des frisch verliebten Paares mit den beiden (Schwieger-) Müttern (Gena's und John's real life Mütter Lady Rowlands und Katharine Cassavetes) am Esstisch liefert sogar Lacher am Fliessband.
Die Schlusssequenzen Hochzeit und Kindergeburtstag im Freien sind an Harmonie und Versöhnlichkeit kaum zu überbieten. Danke an alle Beteiligten, die dieses Meisterwerk wenn auch "nur" mit englischer Tonspur nicht nur für den konventionelleren Konsumenten heraus gebracht haben.

Minnie and Moskowitz is an unusual love story that has a very unique feeling to it right from the start. Minnie Moore is a pretty blond woman that works in a museum. Seymour Moskowitz is a parking lot attendant that is a bit of a goofball. Seymour's chance encounter with Minnie is love at first sight, but now he has to convince her to feel the same. Minnie is romantic at heart, but isn't sure if she believes in love so Seymour has quite a challenge.
If the romance between Seymour and Minnie could be compared to the sound of violin music, it would be the type that hurts your ears. They have a very rocky romance that is one roller coaster of a ride. It doesn't help that their personas clash a bit. Minnie has a sophisticated presence while Seymour may be headstrong; he isn't as polished as her.
Nearly all the characters are odd, but in a captivating way. You wouldn't think of anyone in the movie as really being crazy, but they certainly are unusual. Part of what gives the movie its magical feeling is the conversations these people have, which border on the philosophical side.
The emotion and drama that is part of this story may put off some viewers. There is a lot of yelling by a lot of the people in this film. What may repulse viewers even more is the violence. Minnie takes and gives some hits in her relationships. It is all part of the story, but may get on your nerves too. Despite this, everything ties together well at the end and finishes in a way that I enjoyed. The final message is one of hope and it makes the crazy ride all worthwhile.
