American filmmaker John Cassavetes (1929-1989) made only nine
independent films during a quarter century, but those films
affected the cinema culture of the 1960s to the 1980s in
unprecedented ways. With a close nucleus of actors and crew members
on his team, including his wife Gena Rowlands, Peter Falk, and Ben
Gazzara, Cassavetes created films that explored the gritty side of
human relationships. He staunchly advocated the right of actors and
filmmakers to full artistic freedom over their work. Attracting
both fervent admirers and harsh critics, Cassavetes's films have
garnered prestigious awards in the US and Europe and continue to
evoke strong reactions. Starting in New York with his first film
Shadows, Cassavetes moved on to the West Coast with Faces,
Husbands, Minnie and Moskowitz, A Woman Under the Influence, The
Killing of a Chinese Bookie, Opening Night, Gloria, and Love
Streams. He also directed several studio films, which often rankled
his independent streak that rebelled against a loss of artistic
freedom. Cassavetes's work in the theater and his performances in
numerous television programs and films, including The Dirty Dozen
and Rosemary's Baby, made him, as a director, fiercely protective
of his actors' right to self-expression.
