Cassavettes

Often hailed as the father of independent film, John Cassavetes's maverick approach to film-making captured some of the most honest and genuinely moving portrayals of human emotion ever committed to film. This boxed set contains five of his finest works: Shadows, Faces, A Woman Under The Influence, The Killing Of A Chinese Bookie and Opening Night. Determined to produce interesting and challenging films outside the Hollywood mainstream, Cassavetes funded many of his own films from his acting roles in TV and film (most notably Rosemary's Baby and The Dirty Dozen). Shadows marked his directorial debut in 1959 and was inspired by an improvised scene from an acting workshop he taught in New York. Made for $40, 000, it took Cassavetes and his team of actors three years to complete the film, which explores the dynamics of inter-racial relationships in a jazz infused 1950s New York. In Faces, Cassavetes follows the complicated lives of a group of middle class people living in LA and contains some startlingly raw performances from actors Lynn Carlin and John Marley as married couple Maria and Richard who both commit adultery to escape the misery of their loveless marriage. Richard begins an affair with high-class call girl Jeannie Rapp (Gena Rowlands, The Skeleton Key) and tells his wife that he wants a divorce. Maria, spurned by his rejection, falls into the arms of a carefree young drifter, Chet (Seymour Cassel, The Life Aquatic, In The Soup) but the affair only leaves her feeling suicidal. A brutally honest study of middle age disappointment and sexual power struggles, Faces brought Cassavetes an Oscar (R) nomination for Best Original Screenplay and takes on the subject of failed marriage with a brave and unflinching stare. Gena Rowlands (Cassavetes's wife) gives the performance of her career in A Woman Under The Influence as Mabel Longhetti, a suburban housewife struggling to keep her family together while dealing with the devastating effects of a nervous breakdown. Peter Falk (Columbo) plays Mabel's husband, Nick Longhetti, a construction worker who is deeply in love with his wife but has real difficulty understanding her emotional sensitivity and bohemian attitude. By looking closely at Mabel's stifling family life and her husband's violent outbursts, the film questions definitions of mental illness and the failure of people to communicate. An intense viewing experience, A Woman Under The Influence was Cassavetes's most commercially successful independent project, bringing him an Oscar (R) nomination for Best Director and Gena Rowlands one for Best Actress. Ben Gazarra (Dogville) plays Cosmo Vitelli in crime thriller The Killing Of A Chinese Bookie. Cosmo owns a run down LA strip club called The Crazy Horse West and is in danger of losing his beloved club when he gambles away $23, 000 one night. The mob offer to clear him of his debt if he agrees to kill a rival Chinese bookie for them. In a desperate effort to save the one thing th
