This is a film I have watch several times over several years, the first time in a cinema in Israel. I was about 19 at the time and it had such a profound impact on my life. I watched it again a few years later and loved it, relishing how Gena Rowland reveals her character. The third time I saw it I hated it, I thought it contrived and pretentious and almost unwatchable, so I can relate to those who also hated it. However the next time I watched it I was feeling nostalgic, and once again I loved it. Today Gena Rowland's death was announced and I will watch it again... I wonder how my 55 year old eyes will see it today...?
