At first glance, it may seem like a career and age crisis for actresses, but the issues discussed may be more than that. The movement of the camera and the dialogue are natural, but the lines within the play make me feel a bit contrived. Ridiculous and natural is probably the biggest impression on me from this show, whether it is the relationship between the actors, producers, directors, and screenwriters, the heroine's reality and illusion, or the stage and reality. John Cassavetes is indeed...

Most of them like the play within the play and the improvisation. The last stage performance was a little out of control in my opinion, and it didn't match the far-fetched cheers and applause of the...

When I watched it, my mind was filled with Kate saying to Joey havent you been with an actress before? The director is so handsome! If you think about it carefully, wouldn't the audience watch the actor and the director play the actor and be watched by the audience? Incredible......

The issue of actor anxiety was born very early. "Comet Beauty" in the 1950s mentioned the greed of human nature, but in fact caused a kind of orientation, that is, the age advantage under the premise of gender; "First Night" in the 1970s clearly externalized the struggle and stalemate of the self. The second half of the narrative time is constantly expanding, which is to increase the psychological tension infinitely. Today, such issues have long broken through the scope of a single gender, and...

9.0/10. ①A famous stage actress facing a crisis of exhaustion is about to premiere a new play about a woman who feels helpless with aging, which puts her under great pressure. The fact that a loyal female fan was hit and killed by a car in front of her was even worse. In the day-to-day rehearsal and pressure, her mood became more and more unstable. ②The wonderful improvisation, (large) close-up + virtual focus, and crowded composition of Cassavetes' logo used to create a sense of "anxiety". ③A...

For me personally, it belongs to the most "ideal" kind of movie....

From the very beginning of Virginia saying "I lost the reality of...the reality", to finally breaking the script on the premiere night and completing the redemption in reality in the role reconstruction, Cassavetes said " What is drama"--is it a parody of authenticity (camouflage), or is part of it--the answer seems to be the latter, but the process is done by the superhuman Virginia; best play within...

Cassavetes' heartfelt "madness" is so fascinated! His gigantic close-ups, seemingly chaotic and out-of-focus, can only be directed at the characters themselves in his stories, stripped of the last layer of protection. The middle-aged actress, obsessed with the age of the characters in the play, has hallucinations of a girl - this film is written for Rowlands - only after checking to find that her real name is Virginia. (try this before watching...
