John Cassavetes Collection [UK IMPORT] von Lelia Goldoni   Kurzbeschreibung: > A collection of films from famed actor and independent director John Cassavetes comprising: Shadows (1959): A depiction of the struggle of three black siblings to survive the mean streets of Manhattan, 'Shadows' was Cassavetes' jazz-scored improvisational film exploring interracial friendships and relationships in Beat-Era (1950s) New York City, made from a script entirely improvised by the talented cast, heralding a vital new era in independent filmmaking.
