“A Woman Under the Influence” is one of the most captivating, “can’t leave your seat” films that I have ever seen. Gena gives a Tour de Force performance. You never knew where it was going, but the going was fascinating and tragic.

[@Project5am]

The box set was my introduction to John's work. Definitely my one of my favourite filmmakers of all time

[@trhester1]

IMO Cassavetes is the greatest film director of all-time. He is indeed a "film poet".

[@Johnconno]

Film-Poet...Man that's Crazy! Far out Daddio! Like... Rimbaud meets Cassady in The Mineshaft! ❤

[@marybarratt2649]

Loved this discussion. Gena Rowlands - one of my favourite actresses, so talented and beautiful. So good in Under the Influence with Peter Falk. Thank you for this.

[@Sad_Bumper_Sticker]

Gena Rowland’s facial expressions were so unique ❤

[@lydialilli4351]

I forgot he co-starred in "Rosemary's Baby". Gena Rowlands is just a brilliant actress!

[@TheRealDarrylStrawberry]

I saw 10 minutes of Husbands accidentally, 15 years ago...and i never forgot it. It was them on the train...just talking...smoking...it stuck with me.

[@kimlinden2280]

Why not watch the whole movie?

[@juanjeanjohnful]

Love Streams is one of the best movies ever made

[@justnancy3441]

This is an excellent commentary about John and those who knew him best, Gena Rowlands, his wife of many years, and those who worked with him.. It states how he directed in his own unique way. I always liked his acting but knew little about his directing until I purchased Love Streams. I remember always thinking as I saw a few movies that he starred in and thought he was a very handsome man and an excellent actor. I was so sad when I learned that he had passed.

[@darlinecason1860]

Love them alll!!❤

[@Bailey2006a]

Yes, she was “some kind of beautiful”… and so much more. RIP

A great filmmaker. A fine poet.

[@terenceboris851]

Cassavetes starred in JOHNNY STACCATO (TV) in the late 50s. Great show.

[@citizen1163]

Terence Boris As a child I was drawn to John Cassavetes

[@pulangbaitang]

he made ends meet just by being in tv shows and co-starring in other movies just to fund his own work. truly a very incredible man with a passion for something someone doesn't see at the time.

[@samuelsetenyi2319]

Thank you for this.

Unorthodox, a temperament/means of expressing himself, which left some confused, I think John was guilty of that. But, above all, what defined him was empathy. The reason John, Ben & Peter became close friends was b/c they all shared that same quality. This documentary makes that & a lot more quite evident

[@mirazusta2002]

John Cassavetes was funny in "The Dirty Dozen".

[@peterdurkin8980]

Gena. The Best. Born actress

[@lassiewithfever]

The interwiever didnt know hoy many years Gena and John were married.. he wasnt up to the meeting...or should be read a little more for knowing was to ask

[@cristmann1113]

What an amazing artist

[@carefulconsumer8682]

Cassavetes was a genius.

[@gigigiseleworld]

He was.... A .... Genius 🏆❤️‍🔥🏆

[@GoWithHim1]

Charlie Rose sounds like he knows absolutely nothing about Cassavetes.

[@piratesfan1995able]

Thats how Charlie did most of his interviews, at least the ones i've seen. Maybe he does this to get into the mind of the viewer, who might not know who these people are.

[@mirazusta2002]

I think that is what makes his interviews the most interesting.

[@COD-dr1ph]

He says to Jay-Z : ' tell us about the enduring legacy of Two-pack Shahkoor'

She was a great performer I loved her roles especially with James Garner she will be missed

What did Peter Bogdanovich say that was bleeped out?

[@wilsonfisk89]

"F*ck 'em if they can't take a joke."

[@robhaskins]

If this interview is from 2004, I wonder why a) Peter Falk wasn't there and b) why they seem to be talking about Peter Falk in past tense. (He died in 2011.)

[@amberwaves6091]

Bc he had cognitive deterioration

[@pennypane1736]

Whaat?

[@virnamisra1657]

A bit about John the way I perceive. He was for a woman. The Man in every her movie .. going on every second. So that there becomes no second. However Mumtaz she might be

[@pennypane1736]

That doest even make sense.

Charlie Rose, what a lifelong SICKO; he's despised around the world. Everyone else here is gold.

I’ve seen quite complimentary comments about him. What makes him a sicko?

@@sarcasticallyrearranged In 2017 & 2018, Charlie Rose was accused of sexual harassment by 27 women that worked with him over nearly 30 decades at CBS or PBS. Rose was fired from his jobs when the accusations surfaced. He later admitted that his actions were inappropriate.
