Video interview: John Cassavetes
John Cassavetes was an actor, writer, and director. But that summary doesn’t do justice to this man, one of the unique talents in the independent film world. His screenwriting credits include Faces (1968), Husbands (1970), Minnie and Moskowitz (1971), A Woman Under the Influence (1974), and Gloria (1980).
I’ve pulled together an interesting set of videos with Cassavetes. First, an excerpt from the documentary “Cineaste de notre temps” (1968):
