Dir: John Cassavetes
1974
*****
Cassavetes's leaves the camera running longer than any other director to great effect. It makes for uncomfortable yet compelling viewing and doesn't mess around with the subject matter either, the door to mental illness is left open for all to see, warts and all. Probably Cassavetes's best film, although not my personal favourite, with stunning performances from Rowlands and Falk. Classic American cinema at its very best.
