“Nobody has the time to be vulnerable to each other.”
I’m sick for the first time in two years, so I have an opportunity to be a little lazy and watch a lot of movies. I finally got a chance to watch John Cassavetes’s Faces, which is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The performances (Cassavetes was famous for his work with actors), the writing and the cinematography are all top notch. While watching it I was reminded of Ingmar Bergman’s Scenes From A Marriage which deals with similar subject matter. Outside of Shadows, I had never really enjoyed Cassavetes. This film is in a league of its own.
