Shadows
Dir. John Cassavetes
USA 1959 | Black & white | 87 mins | Cert 12A | Drama
Cast: Benito Carruthers, Leila Goldoni
Cassavetes’ hugely influential ‘improvisation’ centres on two brothers and a sister – black, but with the sister passing for white – leading a Bohemian life in New York. The electric atmosphere and edgily naturalistic performances combine with free-focus black and white camerawork and Charles Mingus’ bluesy score to evoke the jazzy soul of a city.
