The John Cassavetes CoIIection
OPENlNG NlGHT (DVD + BIu-ray)
A fiIm by John Cassavetes
Broadway actress MyrtIe Gordon (Gena Rowlands) rehearses for her Iatest pIay about a woman in denial at the onset of her autumn years. When Myrtle witnesses the accidental death of an adoring young fan, it Ieads to a crisis of confidence in both her professionaI and her personal Iife which threatens to undermine the whole production.
Featuring a startIing and compelIing performance by Gena Rowlands, which won her the Silver Bear for Best Actress in 1978, Opening Night is arguabIy one of John Cassavetes' most seIf-refIexive works and offers an insightful and intriguing evocation of the theatricaI experience from both side of the proscenium.
