Amazon.co.uk Review

A sensation when it was released in 1968, this John Cassavetes film earned Oscar nominations for actors Seymour Cassel and Lynn Carlin. Improvised and shot in an edgy, hand-held fashion, the film examines the disintegration of the marriage of a couple in the mid-life doldrums. Each seeks solace elsewhere: husband John Marley with prostitute Gena Rowlands, wife Carlin with a free spirit played by Cassel. But neither finds anything approaching the fulfilment they feel is missing from the marriage. Indeed, in Cassavetes' probe of raw emotions, these people discover that, just maybe, the problem lies not with their spouse but with themselves. You need to be a fan of Cassavetes's loose, actor-friendly style to appreciate this intriguing but sometimes rambling drama. --Marshall Fine

3.0 out of 5 stars A fair look at marriage -Cassavetes style!, 24 Jun 2004

This review is from: Faces [VHS] [1968] (VHS Tape)
I adore John Cassavetes. However, Faces is not one of my favourite Cassavetes films. In this film John Marley and Lynn Carlin play a couple who are going through a bad patch in their marriage and who seek excitement in the arms of others, Marley with prostitute Gena Rowlands and Carlin with groovy beatnik Seymour Cassel. The film's not bad in places as it shows how both parties fail to even find fulfillment in their affairs. Perhaps therefore the problem lies with themselves? The main problem with this film is that it goes on for far too long and you lose interest after a while as to whether Marley and Carlin will get back together. Anyway watch it and see what you think! Faces lacks the brilliance of other Cassavetes films!
