Well done. But John Cassavetes is not really my cup of tea. If you encounter such a drama, you should be very depressed. What 13 is on the...

Seeing "that young self" die with one's own eyes is a moment of profound awareness of the unrecoverable past and the threat of aging and death. The title has been pointed out in the film: I am talking about the loss of power in the process of aging. It is a pity that only a woman with both fame and fortune can externalize fear in such a wayward and disgusting way that she destroys herself and everything around her. It's still a movie about Hollywood, please, don't think that's what the real...

Black Swan is really nothing compared to it (it's really blind that such a performance didn't get an Oscar...

Cassowitz's book is quite melodramatic as a whole (otherwise it would be difficult to endure it for more than two hours), and the most exciting thing is of course his performance in a dry and depressing style. It is quite skilled and unambiguous, and its sensitivity can be compared to Roeg's editing, which is really good. Moreover, the segmentation effect of the background music is also excellent. This is the only way to truly express the depressed mood. The contrast effect with the picture is...

Revisit! Only then can I see why Almodovar loves this film so much, the double story inside and outside the play, the second woman, the self of yesterday and the self of today, the self in fantasy and the self in reality, Rowlands is the best A lot of mirrors appeared, implying that the real me we don’t want to face, the best way to say goodbye to youth is to reap love, such a crazy and willful performance is the best gift to the old...

Four and a half stars, "another woman". The dramatic world is a reflexive space: to borrow this term from functional analysis, we mean the isomorphic relation between it and its quadratic duality. When multiple Acting and acting are mixed with each other, creating an eerie comedic effect (connected to Lynch's "Rabbit"), and the struggle between "can't go on" and "getting it wrong" successfully establishes an isomorphism, capturing the The truth of self; understand why the audience laugh and...

Perfect. Possibly Cassavetes' most ambitious work, and one of the best of its kind. Gene Rowlands' performance is superb, even better than A Woman Under the Influence, with a little more rationality and less unreasonable sensibility. The core of the story is aging and loneliness, and the line on stage says "Whether you think I'm old or not, I still love you." Reminds me of Antonioni's "Night." The 17-year-old girl who died in a car accident symbolizes the young actress who will never come back....

Be faithful to the characters and situations, rather than blindly pursuing mise-en-scene. This may be where Cassavetes trumps Altman. Rowlands perfectly embodies the anxieties, fears and madness of the stage star, playing the role and playing himself at the same time. The play is rich in layers, and the characters around the stage play are very real and moving. The huge close-up that appears to be chaotic and out of focus on the lens often makes people feel the psychological state of the...

Deleuze classifies Cassavetes' work as "body cinema". Second woman The play itself is not important, who is this person is more important, perhaps the director's wife, her out-of-control limbs when the director was on the phone with the heroine Myrtle, the close-up of her tears while watching the play, and the hug she and Myrtle hugged Final shot. Aging, neuroticism, and loss of control in women have powerfully found their way out. #SIFF2019@Peace Movie...

My eyes greedily look at everything on the big screen, even if it is a silver hair, I will never let go of a fine line, just a puff of cigarettes in my mouth, it also makes me moved, not to mention the ever-changing face . I have watched the movie more than once, but every time, I always forget all the input period. The sound of a fragile body falling down and knocking down, the staff around her like a bet to push her to the stage, a story of a person facing...
