She's So Lovely (1997 Nick Cassavetes)

Written by dad John (and with a cameo from mum Gena Rowlands). I take it the title is an irony because the Robin Wright Penn character is not at all lovely, but rather leaves her children and isn't remotely sympathetic in any way whatsoever.. Essentially taking place over two days separated by ten years, we did not at all enjoy the story of mental wacko Sean Penn, rapist James Gandolfini, angry brute John Travolta or shiftless pair Harry Dean Stanton and Debi Mazar, despite good acting all round. (Kelsey Mulrooney is the daughter.)



Maybe it was just about how messed up people are... On  the plus side, it did end.

Shot by Thierry Arborgast (Leon, Nikita) in Panavision and MudVision.
