Determine the sentiment:

I only know of one other movie that could possibly compete with Opening Night and that's Bergman';s Persona. Both movies are simply amazing, they have a richness of ideas hard to grasp at first sight. We have a profound meditation on the relation of art and life as one actress, Myrtle Gordon (Gena Rowlands), finds herself more in touch with the character she is playing on stage than she would want to. The accidental death of one of her fans, a young girl that declares her love for Myrtle and she is then hit by a car, leaves a deep mark in the actress. She starts asking herself question related to her aging that starts to affect her until the only solution becomes alcohol. But that doesn't help to much and Myrtle is one step away from complete madness. The scene where she kill the imaginary (or not) spirit of the dead girl is one of the most thrilling scenes I found in a Cassavets film. The movie ends with a display of genius on behalf of the director as he films a theater scene where he himself and Gena Rowlands improvise a scene, since Myrtle comes too drunk to the opening night to perform her part accurately. This scene was filmed spontaneously, with a live audience, the laughter is genuine, the chemistry between Casavates and Rowlands absolutely amazing. If you liked Persona or are interested in a movie that offers substantial ideas alongside great entertainment this movie will suit you just fine.

Bestäm stämningen: Jag känner bara till en annan film som möjligen skulle kunna konkurrera med Opening Night och det är Bergmans; Persona. Båda filmerna är helt enkelt fantastiska, de har en rik idérikedom som är svår att förstå vid första ögonkastet. Vi har en djup meditation om relationen mellan konst och liv som en skådespelerska, Myrtle Gordon (Gena Rowlands), befinner sig mer i kontakt med den karaktär hon spelar på scenen än hon skulle vilja. En av hennes fans, en ung flicka som förklarar sin kärlek till Myrtle och hon blir sedan påkörd av en bil, dör av en allvarlig händelse hos skådespelerskan. Hon börjar ställa sig frågande till sitt åldrande som börjar påverka henne tills den enda lösningen blir alkohol. Men det hjälper inte till mycket och Myrtle är ett steg bort från fullständig galenskap. Scenen där hon dödar den imaginära (eller inte) anden hos den döda flickan är en av de mest spännande scenerna jag hittade i en Cassavets film. Filmen avslutas med en uppvisning av geni för regissörens räkning då han filmar en teaterscen där han själv och Gena Rowlands improviserar en scen, eftersom Myrtle kommer för berusad till premiärkvällen för att kunna framföra sin del korrekt. Denna scen filmades spontant, med en livepublik, skrattet är äkta, kemin mellan Casavates och Rowlands helt fantastisk. Om du gillade Persona eller är intresserad av en film som erbjuder betydande idéer tillsammans med stor underhållning kommer denna film att passa dig utmärkt. ALTERNATIV: - negativ - positiv
