John Cassavetes
Singular, uncompromising, visionary. John Cassavetes was the pretty-boy actor who left it all behind to focus on his guerrilla filmmaking. In doing so he near singlehandedly established the American independent film scene.
Here you’ll find cinema at its most raw, direct and unfettered. But most of all Cassavetes’ cinema is about truth; scorched onscreen at its most soul-baring.
