Show Notes

In 1980, MoMA’s senior film curator Laurence Kardish organized a comprehensive retrospective of actor/director John Cassavetes’s career. The retrospective gave a second life to underseen films like Opening Night and offered a holistic overview of an artist that, as Kardish puts it, describes “the whole glorious arc of American cinema.” In this podcast episode, we spoke to Kardish and Rajendra Roy, MoMA’s Celeste Bartos Chief Curator of Film, about Cassavetes and his relationship with MoMA.
