In the words of his son's evaluation of his mother, "Mom, you are very smart and beautiful, but you are a little nervous." From the beginning of...

      The hysterical woman at home is finally back to normal, and I'm crying!

      "Woman Affected" dramatically reveals the housewife's difficult choice between multiple roles and herself. In a blue-collar family, Mayer, a woman who takes care of three young children alone, is overwhelmed, tired, old, and slightly neurotic. The man Nick is busy with his co-workers, and Nick is short-tempered and impatient. Even something as romantic as dating a wife can seem like a chore.

      The fuse of the story is that Nick received an urgent assignment, and the time just collided...

      Can't write short comments

      Cassavetes is of ancient Greek descent after all and Gina's character (rather than the male character in the film) represents Cassavetes. Gina's character has an air of art and freedom, a raw poetic passion and madness. What she's doing - drinking, singing and dancing, listening to opera, arguing with her lover (debate), playing with children (her artistic madness is especially evident in the scene with Mr. Jensen's Swan Lake) Suppressed unconscious frenzy doing these things, she's a bit like...

      The unsolved journey of existence

      My personal favorite movie is far more than "Face". The narrative is clearer and the connotation is deeper, but it is not easy to grasp.
      Compared to the translation of women in power, the affected women are much more reasonable, but it still seems to be incomplete.
      In the relationship between couples under social pressure, even if true love survives, there will still be problems that continue to arise.
      The difference between the film and the usual film is that there are no...

      17.6 ~ 19.7) The director has eliminated the room for elaboration. The only two subjects in the characters refuse to be “entered”/relying on the audience’s point of view. The symptoms presented by the impromptu performance also lack a breakthrough for interpretation. In contrast, we are always at a peculiar point in this space—either silently in the background, or assimilating with other characters (the difference is that the subjective shots of other characters appear from time to time), This...

      There is probably no way out in life. Cassavetes, probably a stumbling block, keeps adding "blocks" to you. Gina Rowlands is a shocker, playing a hysterical and somewhat flattering wife. After the silence, after the outbreak, everything was silent again. Because they are tired, they simply can't beat the...
