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 its extraordinary parts—shows him to be an audience’s director.SHADOWS, FACES (Two DVD edition), A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE, THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE (Two DVD edition), OPENING NIGHT, and A CONSTANT FORGE (documentary on John's extraordinary directorial career). Beautiful box set, with a nice book included. The DVDs area all just like new, and the box shows a bit of age. This DVD set is from my own personal collection, a smoke-free home, and has been lovingly cared for. It will ship to you right away through our friends at USPS. Thanks for looking!
