Cassavetes' manipulation of details sends the entire film into a kind of immortal purgatory. "stand up" "sit down". She has no personal space and time, any role other than wife and mother. Crazy? Whose madness? I started praying halfway through that he was hit by a car and she committed suicide. But Cassavetes didn't even give that hope, and the peace ended quietly. All those who call this movie a family drama are complicit and want to make it...

Directing skills take a back seat, and the stage is left to the actors. Like the combination of "Breaking the Waves" and "Jeanne Dillman", in a life structure full of tedious details, an extreme emotion is...

In 80/100, Gina Rowlands' spiritual flesh gradually evolved to extremes. Those subtle fragility and sensitivity destroyed all imagination of a beautiful marriage, and finally ushered in the expected emotional impact at the end. But the inexplicable puff puff is kind of...

Love drives you crazy but also calms you down... ? Great ending! Cassavetes' films probably all have this feeling: when watching, anxiety, heartache, not knowing what to do; Not only is Rowlands phenomenal, all the actors are...

1. The screenwriter and director are the same person. The ability to control is too strong. The actors perform so well that I almost collapsed while watching it. At first I thought it was my wife's problem. She was too fragile, sensitive, and dissatisfied with her husband, so she was more nervous. Later, after he entered the park, there was only the husband's play, and he felt that it was too strong, vulgar, and a tyrant. His wife's appearance was rooted in him. Is the combination of the two a...

John Cassavetes' masterpiece, depicting the experiences of mentally unstable women and their families. 1. The translation of the title is debatable, meaning "The Drunk Woman". 2. The boring life version [Enchanted], with an open ending, highlights the character performances with close-up and shallow depth of field shots, and strengthens the depressing atmosphere. 3. Gina Rowlands has excellent acting skills, all kinds of twisted expressions, self-talk and gestures, and puffs. 4. Anti-Hollywood...

A / The hypocritical norms of words, bodies, and space are repeatedly cited in order to restore the "normal" state, but the erotic desire that ignores the boundaries is still trying to overflow in the horns of strange gestures and eyes. Cassavetes always maintains a viewing distance that is constantly advancing and retreating, and then gives the characters under the camera a short-term emotional momentum of cadence. Under the impact of the local intensity like the tide, the film and the "family...
