If you loved A Woman Under the Influence, try Opening Night
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Cassavetes, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Woman Under the Influence, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Opening Night is
All About Eve without the malice. A stage actress spirals after witnessing a young fan's death. The company assumes she's drunk; she may be haunted. Gena Rowlands delivers, as always.
