John Cassavetes
Description:John Cassavetes was a genius, a visionary, and the progenitor of American independent film, but that doesn't begin to get at the generosity of his art. A former theater actor fascinated by the power of improvisation, Cassavetes brought his search for truth in performance to the screen. The five films in this collection all of which the director maintained total control over by financing them himself and making them outside the studio system are electrifying and compassionate creations, populated by all manner of humanity: beatniks, hippies, businessmen, actors, housewives, strippers, club owners, gangsters, children. Cassavetes has often been called an actor's director, but this body of work even greater than the sum of it's extraordinary parts shows him to be an audience's director. This collection includes OPENING NIGHT, THE KILLING OF a CHINESE BOOKIE, a WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE, FACES and SHADOWS.
The "John Cassavetes - Five Films" Blu-ray box set by Criterion is a definitive collection celebrating one of independent cinema?s most influential auteurs. This meticulously curated edition features five groundbreaking films: Shadows, Faces, A Woman Under the Influence, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, and Opening Night. Each film showcases Cassavetes? raw storytelling style and his commitment to authentic human emotion. The set includes restored high-definition transfers and insightful bonus materials that delve into the creative process behind these classics. Criterion is renowned for its dedication to preserving important classic and contemporary films with exceptional technical quality and scholarly supplements. Their releases are highly regarded among cinephiles for their attention to detail and historical context. John Cassavetes (1929?1989) was an American actor, director, and screenwriter hailed as a pioneer of independent filmmaking. His improvisational approach influenced generations of filmmakers. Gena Rowlands?his frequent collaborator and wife?is celebrated for her powerful performances in several Cassavetes films; she has received multiple Academy Award nominations throughout her career. Ben Gazzara starred memorably in both "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" and "Opening Night," while Seymour Cassel became known for his roles in many indie classics after working with Cassavetes on "Faces." These artists have left an indelible mark on world cinema through their innovative work together.
