The TVI Take
John Cassavetes's 1977 Gena Rowlands film about a Broadway actress preparing to open a new play whose central character requires her to play a woman struggling with aging. The structural commitment to letting the play-within-a-film mirror-architecture render the protagonist's existential crisis, and Rowlands's career-defining performance, established the canonical late-period Cassavetes work.
