“The film you have just seen was an improvisation.” – Shadows (1959)This week, returning guest Robert Bellissimo joins us for a conversation on John Cassavetes' Shadows,, a landmark of American independent cinema. Shot on the streets of New York with a semi-improvised style and a raw, jazz-infused energy, Shadows broke all the rules and opened new possibilities for personal filmmaking in the U.S.We explore how Cassavetes challenged Hollywood norms, foregrounded race and identity in ways ahead of its time, and crafted a film that still feels immediate and alive decades later. Shadows isn't just a turning point in film history, it's the spark that lit the indie movement.Episode NotesShadows (1959) was written and directed by John CassavetesSelected to the National Film Registry in 1993Known for:Pioneering an improvisational, vérité-inspired approach to filmmakingDepicting interracial relationships in a candid and progressive lightLaunching the American independent film movementDiscussion topics include:Cassavetes' creative process and legacyThe tension between scripted and unscripted storytellingNew York City as a character in the filmHow Shadows opened doors for generations of indie filmmakersFeaturing returning guest:Robert Bellissimo, actor, filmmaker, and host of Robert Bellissimo at the Movies Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale
In this episode of the show we are adding the third instalment into our Elaine May May where we talk about her 1976 Mikey and Nicky. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the arduous and crisis-laden production history of this movie, how Elaine May channeled the spirit of rogue indie filmmaking and how her movie works as a bridge between Cassavetes and Scorsese. We also dive deep into the metaphorical plane of the movie and talk about it as an anti-gangster picture, a companion piece to The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, Husbands and Mean Streets and also wonder what it tells us about Elaine May's own relationship with the moviemaking business.

Susan Oxtoby: The Life and Career of Agnes Varda Susan Oxtoby. Photo: BAMPFA. Susan Oxtoby, Director of Film and Senior Film Curator at Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA), discusses the work of the great Belgian-French film maker Agnes Varda (1928-2019) with host Richard Wolinsky. The first major biography of Agnes Varda, A Complicated Passion: The Life and Work of Agnes Varda by Carrie Rickey, was published in 2024 and will come out in paperback on August 12, 2025. Agnes Varda began her career as a stills photographer and became a director with La Point Courte (1954), having seen very few films in her life. She went on to international fame with Cleo from 5 to 7 and Vagabond, but her late life films The Beaches of Agnes and Faces, Places established her as one of the most important directors of the modern era. All the films discussed in this interview (except the recent documentary Viva Varda!) are available to stream on the Criterion app, save for Faces, Places, which can be streamed on Kanopy. Cleo from 5 to 7 can also be streamed on Max Complete Interview. Book Interview/Events and Theatre Links Note: Shows may unexpectedly close early or be postponed due to actors' positive COVID tests.

John Cassavetes Directs Gena Rowlands appeared first on KPFA.
"Opening Night" is a film about acting and a film about aging. Trying to make sense of a role is hard when you are drowning yourself in alcohol. It's hard to cope with loss when your career is on the line. Gena Rowlands, who plays the lead character, Myrtle, is pure tour de force acting. This film is a masterclass of not only acting but cinema overall. John Cassavetes directed this film and he broke the rules of cinema with this film. It shows that you can do whatever you want however you want as long as you make it sense to yourself. To make something of your own, you gotta make sure it even makes sense. I love that Cassavetes made a film where Rowland's characters went through hard trials and tribulations. In this podcast, I talk about the amazing acting played by Rowlands and the cast included. I talk about how Cassavetes uses the space of not only the stage but the venue itself to create a feel of the audience being there witnessing Rowlands act and as well Cassavetes himself. I also talk about how all this acting and meaning derives from what I feel is a strong screenplay written by Cassavetes. You witness the layers and personalities of the characters and how they work with one another. This is a film where there are sharp turns you gotta be ready for it.Four out of four tokes.

**** [Retro Re-issue Alert!] **** Turns out it wasn't such a great idea to use Le Tigre's "What's Yr Take on Cassavetes?" as our podcast's theme song in 2019 and 2020! Anyway, Spotify (and presumably Le Tigre) don't seem to think so. Accordingly, please find the attached re-issue of one of our foundational episodes, minus the intro music + a couple of words of greeting from Elise. Consider it a fragment shored against our (Julie) Ruin. First issued: August 23, 2019 This week's episode serves as both a prolegomenon to our imminent Hollywood Studios Year By Year series and as a wistful look back to Dave's teen years, when he picked up Ethan Mordden's freewheeling speed date with Old Hollywood History and discovered a new way to split the difference between Adornian culture industry theory and auteurist ontology. Journey back to a time when oligopoly really meant something and most entertainment companies weren't somehow beholden to Disney. We quote from and quibble with Mordden's characterizations of the quintessential qualities of Paramount, MGM, Warner Brothers, Fox, RKO, and Universal (Dave gets particularly riled up about yet another slight to the sacred memory of Carl Laemmle Jr.). What's your favourite Golden Age Studio? We want to know!

À y regarder d'un peu plus près, la filmographie de Jamel Debbouze est un parcours cabossé. Voire un malentendu depuis le début. Portée globalement par un caractère de zébulon comique pour ses succès, elle a régulièrement été traversée d'écarts plus portés vers le drame que soient par des incursions chez les Jaoui-Bacri, voire, plus étonnamment, chez Luc Besson. Mercato confirme plus pleinement cette envie non seulement en revendiquant d'être un film "sérieux" mais surtout en laissant transparaitre en filigrane un probable inattendu autoportrait. Allez savoir, c'est peut-être la crise de la cinquantaine approchant, Debbouze devenant quinquagénaire cette année, qui a poussé ce polar dans le monde du football en bilan existentiel introspectif. Son personnage s'appelle Driss, mais c'est Jamel que l'on croit percevoir sous les traits d'un type qui vit de son art de la tchatche. Après tout, ce rôle d'agent de joueurs est sans doute assez proche de celui qu'il tient auprès de certaines recrues du Jamel Comedy Club. Idem pour l'univers des coulisses du sport, entre coups de canif ou d'esbroufe probablement peu éloigné de celles du vedettariat. Plus qu'un scénario ou une mise en scène sous influence du Meurtre d'un bookmaker chinois de Cassavetes ou plus récemment du Uncut Gems des frères Safdie, c'est cet axe d'un miroir non déformant, et l'implication évidente d'un Debbouze à l'origine même du projet qui rend Mercato intrigant.Brian Jones et les Rolling Stones propose lui aussi d'aller voir derrière les apparences. Le documentaire de Nick Broomfield rappelle que Jones fut le fondateur du groupe. La façade d'un musicien extravagant qui aura péri de ses excès s'estompe pour faire place au portrait d'un jeune homme brillant, mais tourmenté, marginalisé à la fois par Mick Jagger et Keith Richards, plus enclins à un tempérament de rock stars, et par des parents effarés que leur fils mène une vie de saltimbanque. Brian Jones et les Rolling Stones s'essaie à faire office de réparation, en rappelant qu'il a tenu la même place qu'un George Harrison chez les Beatles, souvent en retrait derrière le binôme McCartney-Lennon. Jagger et Richards sont les grands absents des interviews de ce documentaire. Que cela soit volontaire de la part de Broomfield ou parce qu'ils n'ont pas voulu y participer, cette évocation, qui n'occulte pas les démons de Jones, y gagne en volonté de faire amende honorable, et décrasse l'histoire officielle de la pop culture de sa sainte trinité sexe, drogues et rock'n'roll, pour creuser plus profond, et avec une certaine mélancolie, sur l'origine de ses âmes brulées.Mercato, Brian Jones et les Rolling Stones. En salles le 19 février.

EPISODE 71 - “STEVE & NAN's FAVORITE CLASSIC FILMS OF THE 1970s” - 1/20/2024 The 1970s was a decade that saw the rise of the auteur. Filmmakers like Scorsese, Coppola, Cassavetes, Altman, Lumet, and DePalma hit their stride and brought to the screen their specific vision and stylized films. It was a very experimental era where boundaries were pushed and once-taboo topics were explored. It became a creative high point and gave us some iconic movies. This week, Steve And Nan take look at some of their favorite films of the 1970s.

No, it's not Archie Bunker's daughter (Wait, does anyone born after 1983 get that reference?). Rather she's a mob moll with a little boy to protect. It's the pod's first John Cassavetes movie.

Season 4 continues with "Playback," an episode starring another Cassavetes alum, Gina Rowlands. Unfortunately, she's sidelined as a innocent bystander and wife to the episode's murderer, played by Oskar Werner. He's a fan of gizmos which aid his plan to murder his mother-in-law but, of course, they're ultimately his undoing.
EPISODE 53 - “Tribute to Gena Rowlands” - 09/16/2024 ** This episode is sponsored brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** When screen legend GENA ROWLANDS passed away last month at the age of 94, she left behind a film and TV legacy that will undoubtedly influence artists for decades to come. She was an acting titan who changed the way modern audiences looked at acting. From her historic independent movies with husband JOHN CASSAVETES to mainstream Hollywood to powerful performances in iconic television films, Rowlands' performances were always honest, complicated, and emotionally raw. There was just no one like her; and there never will be again. This week, we pay tribute to her endearing legacy on and off the screen.

On the sixtieth episode of the Cinematic Odyssey, Tristen and Max dive into John Cassavetes's experimental indie film Opening Night. Through discussion of Cassavetes's unconventional storytelling, massive narrative undertaking, and relationship with the film's star, the guys try to decide whether the film is a masterpiece or lacking in some areas. Make the call yourselves, but please stay out of the street afterwards.

We talk Clint once again. We get into the romantic entanglements circling his life around the time he made Bridges of Madison County. After we say some words about Cassavetes' Gloria (which we are showing with Bridges this Monday) it's all talk about Clint's romantic soft boy sideTickets
Felicia Maroni (Seeing Faces in Movies) joins the show to discuss the first half of John Cassavetes' filmography: Shadows (1958); Too Late Blues (1961); A Child is Waiting (1963); Faces (1968); Husbands (1970); and Minnie & Moskowicz (1971). When we talk about John Cassavetes, we're talking about the history of American independent movies, from what preceded and influenced the movement, to how the format adapted and was deeply influenced by the style of indie auteurs like Cassavetes. By studying this filmmaking tradition, we can give shape to a whole world of cinema crafted outside the system and trace every step of contemporary productions back to their root source. By working outside the system and against the market, Cassavetes created a new system and a new market. We explore the eccentricities of this improvisational and naturalistic filmmaker who changed movies forever, one Opening Night, one Face, one Husband, one Chinese Bookie, and one Woman Under the Influence at a time. Stay tuned as Felicia will return for the second half of our series, and some of the most influential indie films of all time, next month.
This week, the Best in Show crew is full of Indie Spirit as they mingle on the carpet and out the back of the Film Independent Spirit Awards, where Zoe Lister-Jones, Jordan Firstman and the teams from Kokomo City and The Zone of Interest all stop by for chats about Cassavetes versus Altman, the secrets to a great director-producer relationship and epic movie dog moments. Brian meets his sporting hero Marshawn Lynch, and Mia settles in for a conversation with International Feature Spirit winner Justine Triet about the multiple languages of Anatomy of a Fall. Finally, Neil Hamburger himself (On Cinema's Gregg Turkington, cast member in the John Cassavetes Award-winning Fremont) tells Mia and Gemma about the first award he ever won (and seems to keep on winning). Chapters: Opening credits (00:00:00) News (00:03:06) Justine Triet interview (00:33:34) Winner Winner Turkington Dinner (00:49:48) Closing credits (00:54:40) Credits: Recorded in Los Angeles.

The Canadian theatrical release of her second feature Tótem gives writer-director Lila Avilés the chance to bend the format a little and talk about how her voracious, lifelong love of cinema -- from Disney to Cassavetes -- helped her find her own aesthetic as an artist. Your genial host Norm Wilner apologizes for his voice, which he blew out doing Canada's Top Ten events over the weekend.

Here's a short teaser of the twelfth and final episode of the 2023 edition of Uncut Gems Marathons where we will - one by one - re-trace the directorial career of John Cassavetes. We are finally coming to a close of our year-long journey through the cinema of John Cassavetes and we finish with Big Trouble. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about this movie being a job for hire, whether it carries some Cassavetes DNA in it, if Alan Arkin and Peter Falk had enough chemistry to make the movie a success, and how Beverly D'Angelo is a comedic gem. We also spend some time looking back upon our time watching all Cassavetes films, reflect on what we learned in the process, and share our top moments too. Tune in and enjoy!

Felicia is joined by Darragh McGrath to discuss John Cassavetes tale of a troubled romance, in Minnie and Moskowitz (1971). We chat about social constructs, and the way Cassavetes' characters often fall outside of what society deems the norm - how he sympathizes with them, and doesn't judge them for their honesty. We also discuss what makes a film a romantic comedy, and how this one defies the mold set by Hollywood. We have a lot of fun in this episode making fun of each others quirks, not unlike Minnie and Moskowitz in this film. This is the fourth and final episode part of the John Cassavetes series - it was such a joy to revisit all of these films and discuss them with my four amazing guests. My love and awe for Cassavetes career and drive, grows more and more every day. Send us your thoughts on the episode - do you think this film is a comedy?

In this episode of our 2023 John Cassavetes Marathon, we are talking about arguably the last great movie John Cassavetes directed, Love Streams. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the finality of this movie, its relationship with the filmmaker's entire body of work, Gena Rowlands climbing to new heights, and how Cassavetes himself was trying to bid the world farewell from behind the camera.

Felicia is joined by Martin Kessler to discuss John Cassavetes take on an actress battling her inner demons in, Opening Night (1977). We chat about Cassavetes interest in actors both on and off screen, and how his relationship with repertoire of actors adds another layer of realism to the story. We discuss the elements of the supernatural and whether Myrtle is truly being haunted by the ghost of the dead fan or did she never exist to begin with.

It's a sad day around the Wilhelm headquarters as we finish up our dive into the films of John Cassavetes. We wrap up with a look at "Gloria," and "Love Streams." Cassavetes was interested in exploring love, and the complicated, weird things we are as humans--and we love all of you for joining us on this journey. There's other stuff in this episode, too, but, really, it's all about Cassavetes. Remember: "Love is a stream, it's continuous, it doesn't stop."

In this episode of our 2023 John Cassavetes Marathon, we are talking about Gloria. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Cassavetes brushing shoulders with mainstream Hollywood, operating on the fringes of the New Hollywood, how the movie inspired Leon: The Professional and many other films, how Gena Rowlands was a John Wick of her time and much more!

Remember when studio audiences were a thing? Anyway, in this episode, we're discussing the latest screening from The Fort Worth Film Club: "Real Women Have Curves." And there's more Cassavetes: "The Killing of A Chinese Bookie," and "Opening Night." Something we've found out during this Cassavetes journey: these movies are good, but, man, they're emotionally draining.

Brock and Jason are back to dig into more Cassavetes: the feel-good romp that is "Minnie and Moskowtiz," and the story of a marriage in "A Woman Under the Influence." This man really never got the credit he deserved... Also, on the pod, the Wilhelm Boys discuss the new film "Bottoms," directed by Emma Seligman, and starring Rachel Sennott, and Ayo Edeberi.

Here's a short teaser of the sixth episode of the 2023 edition of Uncut Gems Marathons where we will - one by one - re-trace the directorial career of John Cassavetes. In this episode of our ongoing marathon we are talking about John Cassavetes' ninth film, Opening Night. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about Gena Rowlands' unbridled talent and the tender way in which her husband filmed her, the movie as a conversation on ageing and a complex tirade on what makes performing arts work. We also revisit some of our own traumas and stories from the past, as we wrestle with mortality and the fact nobody seemed to notice Cassavetes' filmmaking genius when he was around.

Here's a short teaser of the sixth episode of the 2023 edition of Uncut Gems Marathons where we will - one by one - re-trace the directorial career of John Cassavetes. In this episode of our 2023 John Cassavetes Marathon, we are discussing The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, a film Cassavetes directed immediately after A Woman Under the Influence. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the many reasons the world (and some of us too) did not connect with the movie the way they did with his previous film, how it is a stylistic departure from his MO, how it functions as a metaphorically autobiographical piece and that its anti-genre allure is definitely not for everyone.

With incredible performances in films like “Midnight Cowboy,” “Coming Home,” “Deliverance,” and “Runaway Train,” Jon Voight has earned himself a spot in the acting Pantheon. At 84, he has never stopped working. Seven seasons of “Ray Donovan” being a recent highlight. On this episode, he talks about how he “starts slow” when developing an approach to a character, letting “things drop into my psyche.” He pinpoints directorial characteristics of John Schlesinger (director of “Midnight Cowboy”) that worked well for him, details a scrappy fight scene with Jonathan Rhys Meyers on his latest film “Mercy,” reminisces about working with Cassavetes on “Love Streams” the play, and much more! “Mercy” is Select Theaters now, On Digital May 19, and On Demand June 2. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft. Follow Back To One on Instagram

Como ensayista, abordó la obra de Borges y como novelista, se destacó ya con su primera novela, A lo lejos, finalista del Pulitzer, entre otros premios, y que a través de un juego de géneros y procedimientos literarios, puede definirse como un viaje al corazón de la soledad y la aventura en los Estados Unidos del siglo XIX, aunque también una excursión a cierta tradición literaria argentina. Elegida por medios como The New York Times y The New Yorker como uno de los libros del 2022 y elogiada por el ex presidente Barack Obama, Fortuna, su nueva novela, se propone una vez más como un juego literario y esta vez lo que está en el centro es el dinero y la ficción del dinero, así como las bambalinas del capitalismo y lo que la plata puede hacer con las personas y las relaciones humanas. Dividida en cuatro libros que emulan diversos géneros (novela decimonónica al estilo Henry James o Edith Wharton), biografía inconclusa, memoir y diario íntimo, Fortuna cuenta la historia del magnate Andrew Bevel y su esposa Mildred, quienes también toman -desde una ficción dentro de la ficción- los nombres de Benjamin Rask y Helen. El lugar de la mujer y la lucha obrera en los Estados Unidos en tiempos de construcción del capitalismo voraz -especialmente todo lo vinculado al anarquismo- también son clave en la magnética novela de Hernán Díaz, que fascina por su desbordante imaginación, por la documentación histórica y económica que es posible leer en sus páginas y por la construcción de un artefacto literario singular e inolvidable. En la sección En voz alta, Bernardo Cappa leyó un fragmento de “Todos los niños mienten”, de Sebastián Basualdo. Bernardo Cappa nació en Bahía Blanca en 1969. Estudió actuación en la Escuela de Arte Dramático y Dramaturgia con Mauricio Kartun y se formó también con Ricardo Bartis. Estrenó más de treinta obras. En estos momentos dirige “Un almuerzo argentino” Una mesa larga, fideos con salsa y copas de vino. Un brindis. Un compromiso. Dos familias y una deuda. Una llegada inesperada. Octubre de 1952.
