william k Insightful, but much too short celebration of a great actor; lots of famous actors of equal talent get to pay homage. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A nice little mini doc with some of the co-stars, filmmakers and next generation actors who had the opportunity to work with John Cazale before his unfortunate passing at the age of 42 from lung cancer, focusing on his style of method acting and how much of a natural he was for the art, and his still unmatched ability to find a high amount of award worthy film projects to be on (remains the only actor I am aware of whose entire filmography was nominated for Best Picture). Raging from DeNiro, Hoffman, Pacino Streep and of course Coppola who cast him in 3 of his five roles, you can tell all of the people talking about him considered him in high regard and wished we was still with us to see where his career would have taken him all of these years later. Kind of wish the doc was longer and got more into his schooling and his technique more but an interesting loving little doc nonetheless.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member It's strange to imagine what kind of career John Cazale would have had if he lived on like DeNiro or Pacino. Still it is amazing and fascinating how every single movie he appeared in are classics. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A chronicle of the short life of a great actir who only appeared in 5 films, all of which had been nominated for Oscars (though he never even received a nomination, a real crime when you look at who did get a nom fir "The Godfather, Part II"). John Cazale unfortunately passed away at the age of 42 of cancer, and his promising career on the screen was untimely ended. The documentary is a living tribute to him, it doesn't dig too deep, and bas a very short run time, but it did put the spotlight on an often forgotten actor, with a great body if work. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member It is crazy he was only in 5 movies and they are all classics!
