    9.7 Thousands of words are combined into one "bravo", which is silly. The madness finally reveals the ultimate naturalness, which can be said to be the type of movie I want to make the...

    One of Cassavetes' best, Gina Rowlands won the Berlin Best Actress award for her amazing performance, and the performances of the husband and wife team also constitute an intertext on and off the screen. This film inspired Inaritu [Birdman] and Alan [Black Swan], and Almodovar also recreated the tragic accident in [All About My Mother]. Ben Gorzana's character seems to have traveled from the previous work [Murdering the Underground Boss], and the neurotic character Rolands interprets is also...

    Although I knew what he meant, I was not on his line. Putting aside the shortcomings of the times and the new ideas of Cassavetes, in my opinion, there is a conflict between the expression method and the expression carrier, at least I am...

    Using film to express the effect of the stage play is better than the theater, and can capture a lot of scattered details. A close-up of the face is really the best way to express the emotions of a drama actress. The blurry boundaries and full of unknowns of the play within the play are fascinating, but it always feels like the live audience's reaction is either saying that the audience is stupid and passive, or that the stage play is overrated. Van Hove said that the inspiration for the film...

    The director's play is always like a miniature drama, grasping a small contradiction can unfold into a movie, all kinds of human emotions are in it. If you really want to see how the actor holds up the whole scene, just watch his...

    What a wonderful drama within a drama, perhaps the most blurred line of drama within a drama I've ever seen, the introduction of the audience, the improvisation. Gina Rowlands' perfect...

    5- In fact, it can be more lethal to understand its ending --- the foreshadowing is impeccable! The biggest benefit is Gena Rowlands, which is simply a masterpiece. The classic characters of the heyday of American Hollywood have been refined. For a while, I felt like I saw Cronenberg or Lynch. Laughter and scolding, not sticking to women themselves, but looking at the ups and downs of intersex people's long and...

Opening Night quotes

  • Nancy Stein: I never bothered you. You want to kill me. I devoted my life to you. To movies. To music. To theater. I'm 17 years old. I like sex. I like to turn people on. And that's what the theater is: sex. It's like getting laid.

    Myrtle Gordon: Um, what did you do to her?

  • Maurice Aarons: I have a small part. It's unsympathetic. The audience doesn't like me. I can't afford to be in love with you.
