Faces (1968)

Faces (1968) – J. Cassavetes

A Cassavetes film is different, it plays by different rules, to its own tune. Sometimes that tune is off-key or the jams go on too long, but it can also soar. Faces is about middle aged people and their (over)reactions to a stale relationship -- they seek out other, younger, partners. See what happens as the older generation encounters the Swingin' 60s (ignoring the datedness of everything). Things get pretty intense.
