He was soo handsome. They made a very attractive couple

I love his sincerity. "We're terrific, we're sensational." It's pure passion, and so inspiring.

love John and his work.

Gena’s facial expressions say everything.

opening night is so incredible...definitely one of my favorite films. cassavetes is so brilliant

Whats the movie

One of the greatest interviews I've ever seen.

Cassavetes was a genius. When I started NYU film school in the early '90s, most of my fellow students knew nothing about Cassavetes. Granted, most of his films were not easily available on video then, but he was well-known as an actor and they hadn't seen any films he acted in. This led to an expression I often repeated: "This is what they let into NYU?" I also noticed that the other students had no fire in their bellies - film is art and artists are passionate. Look how passionate Cassavetes is here. Did he have a few drinks in him? Perhaps but he was totally lucid and coherent and obsessed with art. TV sucks now but back then there were actually a lot of good shows on the air. And he was right about "Opening Night," which is his best film after "Husbands."

Look at gena...❤

40 years later we now live in a world with globalized superhero movies being pushed as must see works of art.

Greatest artist ever to walk on the planet period.

After 45 years I saw this film. Cassavetes is right. Opening Night is Goddamn great.

Let's revive cinema as an art.

thank you

coolest mf ever

you look great

He IS amazing and inspiring. Interesting use of the term "sissy" here.

Macdonald Cassavetes, what a guy.

why was this not in the fucking picture

“You’ll never get another one like this” So amazing, the best to ever do it

Pure greek passion and feeling for truth

Imagine what his response would be to all the pansies running Hollyjewed and promoted by Holljewed now

Ou on peut voir ce grand film qui est passé inaperçu nous en France on n eft pas capable de faire des films aussi extra style Gloria par exempl

What a wonderful talent john cassavetes was & so tragic he passed away at only 59. Great footage & thanks for posting 👍🏿

It's not just that we don't have great filmmakers like this anymore, it's that we don't have great audiences anymore.

The emptiness of the mass entertainment industry has reached terminal point. It all needs to collapse to be rebuilt by artists not empty souled money men

Gena tells how she had no intention of marrying so early in her career. Then John goes looking for her back stage & she's immediately hooked. After listening to this I know why. The guy gives no quarter

At least he's left a legacy for younger generations to take something from,,,learn , and make their own kind of movies,,,, express themselves.

Is that Paul Stewart sitting on the other side of Cassavetes?

Beautiful.

This is gold

Apparently this moment (right after Opening Night bombed) was Cassavetes at his most depressed. He was basically convinced that he lost and that he would never be able to fund another movie.

his rant nails it ,even more now than then ....i can feel the cosmo vitteli here

thanks for posting this. just read this transcript in Cassavetes on Cassavetes. LOVE HIM

To be at that table!

My how nothing's changed.. We need the Mavericks man.

John was a man of conviction. I believe he was devoted to everything. His wife, children, friends and his art.

What's that dame supposed to be doin in that right bottom corner? What's he employing her for?

5:15: Different Time. A guy says he likes 10 yr olds. Shocking? Duhh Yeah! But not as quick as to compared Now: Just Wrong! + That's Right! But right or wrong for whom? 10 + 13 yr olds? Interesting? We need less anxiety/pitchforked + more nuanced approach to dialogue in this very important subject. But, Cassavetes was just making a very facile remark, I think. What do you think?

The Narrator is as useless as...

I love all of Cassavetes films, including Opening Night!

Hear hear

This mentality needs to rise , awaken creative artists, be original.

Cassavetes resented the time he spent in television, even his own series "Johnny Staccato". While the critics acclaimed it, "Staccato" only lasted one season. For the most part, he thought doing TV was a necessary evil, allowing him to make enough money to move over into directing his own films.

Where can I see the full interview? I can't find it :(

Ben and Gena talking to each other on the side... Just waiting for that finale. I'm sure she had heard this speech a thousand times haha the greatest

One man can make difference. Finally one man tells hollywood what it is and now we can see more of what he was talking about. Tv sucks movies suck everything about the business sucks. You will meet the most uncreative people in the business. It’s all bullshit. And that’s why most of them need to get the fuck outta there and start putting in some people who are qualified to get into the minds of the people for two hours and enlighten them in some way. Some people think it’s just movies no it’s shaping the minds of the young so I think that’s an important profession which should take lives more seriously then just another behind on the seat.

i was going to watch opening night until i saw this interview going to watch aquaman instead

That'll get on. These guys and Gena are film. What they did is important.
