Like any red-blooded actor, she is itching to get back onstage again. The actress has no qualms or vanity about elderly roles, provided it's a good part.
She's plucked quite a few of late. Current case in point is Pieces of a Woman , which has been making the rounds via Netflix. In it, she plays the mother of Vanessa Kirby, who loses a child in a fumbled home birth. It allows Burstyn a blistering scene in which she rages at her daughter for giving in to sadness and tells her of when she herself was a sickly Holocaust survivor baby who flatly refused to die. The power Burstyn pours into this speech earned her nomination talk.
Alas, she didn't make the Oscar cut. If she had, she would have made Oscar history. At 88, she would have become the oldest performer ever nominated for an Oscar, besting by 38 days the record Christopher Plummer set with All the Money in the World. As it is, Burstyn's award record is not so shabby: She has been nominated for eight Emmys, six Oscars, and one Tony and is one of the few people to have won all three, the Triple Crown of Acting.
As for coming attractions: "I shot a film called 30 Days , a coming-of-age story about a gay boy, and I'm his grandmother. It's a very interesting script and beautifully shot. CBS 3. Philadelphia News. Shyamaween Benefiting The M. Night Shyamalan Foundation. Jason Staebler lives on the Boardwalk and fronts for the local mob in Atlantic City. He is a dreamer who asks his brother David, a radio personality from Philadelphia, to help him build a paradise on a Pacific Island, which might be just another of his pie-in-the-sky schemes.
Inevitably, complications begin to pile up. Bob Rafelson Jacob Brackman. Toby Carr Rafelson. This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth. Lots of great stuff here that doesn't really coalesce. Like The Turin Horse , it opens with a shot so powerful that what follows feels almost like an afterthought, and in general it's at its best when it tends toward the surreal: mock Miss America contest, David regaling the Japanese investors with improvised tales about a woman-dolphin relationship, etc.
But those elements seem neither to mesh with nor act as counterpoint to the picayune nature of Jason's Tiki Island scheme, which Rafelson can't make more compelling than "loser's pipe dream. Ending feels very shoulder-shrug, but again, it's magnificent in bits and pieces, from the….
The King Of Marvin Gardens is a film that I enjoyed although I am having a tough time trying to think of the reasons why that might be. Considering this is me, it's probably mostly to do with the cast. The opening scene, a monologue by Jack Nicholson where he relates a story about how he and his brother watched their grandad die when they were much younger, is possibly the best individual scene performance I have ever seen from him. The only time he really comes to life during….
The plot's simple enough, and the setting the run-down end of the Atlantic City Boardwalk in Winter is gloomy enough that it's easy to understand why this never quite became an audience favorite, but it's crushingly effective in the way it contrasts Nicholson's inward, seething discontent with himself and the world, and Dern's dismissal of anything that isn't him. When a movie actress begins to suspect that an evil spirit is possessing her young daughter, she calls in two priests to try to exorcise the demon.
Watch all you want. Among the most influential movies in the horror genre, this frightful film won two Oscars and four Golden Globes. More Details. Watch offline.
