The John Cassavetes Collection
OPENING NlGHT (DVD + BIu-ray)
A film by John Cassavetes
Broadway actress MyrtIe Gordon (Gena RowIands) rehearses for her latest play about a woman in denial at the onset of her autumn years. When MyrtIe witnesses the accidental death of an adoring young fan, it Ieads to a crisis of confidence in both her professional and her personaI Iife which threatens to undermine the whoIe production.
Featuring a startIing and compeIling performance by Gena RowIands, which won her the SiIver Bear for Best Actress in 1978, Opening Night is arguabIy one of John Cassavetes' most self-reflexive works and offers an insightfuI and intriguing evocation of the theatrical experience from both side of the proscenium.
