Faces
John Cassavetes / US, 1968 / 130 min.
The very opposite of slick Hollywood aesthetics in every respect: John Cassavetes explored the actor’s true face in front of his camera. In Faces he exposed marriage as a prison and examined the ‘American way of life’. Cassavetes’ independently produced film perfectly reflected the radical do-it-yourself movement of ’68. Gena Rowlands delivers an emotional and overwhelming performance as the betrayed wife.
