Review of Faces (1968) by Mick Lasalle for San Francisco Chronicle — 05 Feb 2008
Partly improvised, partly scripted, and partly somewhere between the two, Cassavetes' films have frequently been likened to jazz. Faces bears the stamp of its particular era's jazz; it trades in long stretches of chaos, even ugliness, which produce unexpected passages of grace and beauty.
As punishing as that ugliness can be, the graceful bits stick in the memory.
