Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Mcan Yildiz This is a beautiful documentary about an unknown actor who somehow you can manage to remember his face and previous roles but don't know his name. John Cazale... A genius. This documentary is not a cheap one. If you watch (I definitely recommend)you will see tones of famous actors who worked with the John Cazale in the years of Illimunated Hollywood (1970s). Even though i watched his works before (Deerhunter,Dog Day Afternoon, Godfather 1&2, The Conversation) I never realized that he is one of the most important actors in the history of 70s. He was just another guy. But after this short i realized that his intention was to be the other guy. The stranger, unwanted one, dumb character, bad son. These were the roles that made him a known actor at that time. I also wanted to add that i wasn't thinking that actors have so much work in a movie besides the film crew and directors before watching this film. Now, (Thanks to John Cazale) i believe that a simple character can add magnificent taste to a scene (with his gesture, making it look like real life and showing singularity with his character.) This is must watch film for liberated Hollywood fans.

Prismark10 In the days before the internet a popular question to film magazines was: 'Whatever happened to John Cazale?'People who first saw him in The Godfather films and then saw him pop up in Dog Day Afternoon, The Conversation and The Deer Hunter were flummoxed that this brilliant, distinctive looking actor came out from nowhere, appeared in the great films of the 1970s and promptly disappeared.If John Cazale were still alive now he would be a celebrated actor and likely to have Oscar and Tony awards under his belt.Unfortunately Cazale died of cancer in 1978. He left a legacy in movie history of five performances in five films that were all nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, three of them actually winning the Best Picture Oscar.Actors, friends, family, collaborators discuss John Cazale, his life on screen and stage where he was also a celebrated performer. For the first time you get to find out a little more of John Cazale the man and performer. Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and for his first appearance on screen in several years, Gene Hackman all reminiscence about him.

Michael_Elliott I Knew It Was You: Rediscovering John Cazale (2009) **** (out of 4)Excellent documentary covering the five films that John Cazale made during his short life. THE GODFATHER, THE CONVERSATION, THE GODFATHER PART II, DOG DAY AFTERNOON and THE DEER HUNTER are discussed in regards to how Cazale got the parts as well as what he did with them. I think it says a lot about how much people cared for him when you see the names that turned out to be interviewed for this 40-minute documentary. Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Meryl Streep, Gene Hackman, Francis Ford Coppola, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Brett Ratner, Sidney Lumet, Sam Rockwell, Carol Kane, John Savage and Steve Buscemi are among the group gathered for the interviews. That's a mighty impressive list to discuss a man who only appeared in five movies but it's clear that they all loved working with this man. There are countless great stories told about Cazale not only in the movies but also his time on the stage. We hear a few details about his early life but mostly we stick to his movies. We get clips from each of them as people talk about what made the scene so special and how they felt Cazale was able to make those around him so much better. Pacino tells a great story about how Cazale would start scenes on DOG DAY AFTERNOON and it's quite funny. There's also talk about him meeting Streep and marrying her, which of course leads to a discussion on his lung cancer and death at such a young age. The title using "rediscovering" is perfectly used because if you're not familiar with Cazale then this documentary does a great job at making you see why he was so special. If you're familiar with these five films then watching this will just make you want to see them again.

didi-5 John Cazale only made five films - but all classics. The Godfather, The Godfather II, The Conversation, Dog Day Afternoon, The Deer Hunter. A superb actor, he died early and has largely been forgotten.However this touching and incisive tribute goes some way to addressing that. Showing footage from his films interspersed with talking heads of film critics, colleagues (Coppola, Pacino), former fiancée (Meryl Streep, who is gracious in her praise), this profile is excellent, highlighting his theatre career and his influence on those who worked with him or saw his performances.There is little doubt that Cazale had the makings of greatness, despite being unconventionally good-looking. He's always been an actor I've noticed, particularly as Fredo in The Godfather and Sal in Dog Day Afternoon. This film hints at what could have been had he lived.A short but sweet documentary, 'I Knew It Was You' is well worth a look if you are a fan of classic cinema, whether you're aware of Cazale's work or not.
