John Cassavetes Five Films
John Cassavetes came at filmmaking from a direction completely opposite to the norm: Technical perfection wasn't
important, acting and emotional truth was. This collection gathers five fascinating accomplishments with some of
the most powerfully affecting dramatic scenes ever caught on film - SHADOWS, FACES, A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE,
THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE and OPENING NIGHT. All are backed up with in-depth extras, rare interviews from the
past and a thorough selection of new material from the likes of Gina Rowlands, Lelia Goldoni, Peter Falk and Ben
Gazarra. Also comes with a fat book of essays and interviews with Cassavetes. From Criterion.
