Lots and lots of close-ups and close-ups, myrtle's frowns, smiles, and even tongue licks, all shrouded in grey anxiety. The director recklessly placed the camera in a "dangerous distance", as if tying the audience and the actors in an elevator, making people feel insecure. I believe that the actors will inevitably have the same feeling when facing the camera, so they are naturally neurotic. overflows on its own. In contrast, Inarido's technique is too clumsy, endless long shots, computer...

"It's not your fault that you were there."

This scene is a symbol of her whole life, and it exists as a form of expression. A while ago, I thought that Hattie's "Salesman" also had such an intertext, but the reference here is more obvious: her role in this scene is The character is tragic, and the anxiety that this character feels is also outside the play. As an actor and a woman, when she reaches...

It is said that the close relationship between director John Cassavetes and actress Gina Rowlands onstage and behind the scenes adds a more blurred color to the film itself, which
is a better interpretation of the film or theater world. Facing the stage, fame and aging, Gina Rowlands, a famous drama actress, fell into a series of crises, especially the accidental death of a loyal movie fan, which plunged her life into more exaggerated chaos and spiritual confusion. The dead girl became The...

Movie Notes

Cassavetes asks that question: Does a story belong to the person who creates it spiritually (the screenwriter), or does it belong to the person who gives it physical form (the actor)? We see how Myrtle is invaded, tortured, and ultimately killed by the logic of the story while selling his body. She faces the dilemma of "double betrayal". As an actor, she sells her body and undisturbed private life space; as a woman, she sells her dignity and the female image defined by the...

"Boundless Night" was nominated for Best Actress at the 1978 Golden Globe Award and won the Silver Berlin Bear Award at the 1978 Berlin Film Festival.
John Cassavetes is one of America's leading independent producers.
The word repeatedly mentioned in the film is get old. What does aging mean to an actress, the downfall of life. Youth fades, enthusiasm fades, love is lost. In particular, a woman, an actress, paid a huge price for her youth. If she only bought a vain reputation, no...

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...
