In Reply to: John Cassavetes...... posted by afilado on March 19, 2009 at 09:03:23:
+ I personally never liked Gena Rowlands in any film I've seen her in
"Husbands" is Cassavetes great film; if you have any doubt about his use of improvisation then Peter Falk, Ben Gazarra + Cassavetes are let off the leash in this; highly original, very amusing + at times touching story of a group of friends getting over their loss, during + after a funeral
Some of his films miss by miles, but some are gems
Mikey + Nicky is one of his better efforts ( Falk + Gazarra )
Pedro Amodovar, in "All about my Mother" based his aging stage actress character on Gena Rowlands in "Opening Night", and painstakingly recreated Cassavetes "fan being run over in the rain" sequence to the point where it's almost a frame-by-frame recreation; quite an homage
As an actor, Cassavetes smile just lights up the screen
As a Director, a maverick + a complete original
