If you loved Shadows, try Faces

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by John Cassavetes, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Shadows, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Faces is

A domestic drama without a plot. Richard wants out of his marriage; Maria responds in kind. Both separately sample the dating pool, with diminishing returns. Raw and intimate, this is late-sixties angst in high-contrast black and white.
