Mentions (7)
"Charles Bronson wouldn't be a leading man today. Would Cassavetes?"
"Really loved the way light was used throughout the film, apparently Cassavetes would use some sort of gel over the film lenses to get that effect. All the reds and blues looked great."

"Robert Kramer's ICE plays like a hippie version of THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS, with realistic suburban guerrilla warfare and terrorism (not so far fetched in 1970) shot in a style of gritty black and white realism reminiscent of Cassavetes."
"Another obvious one is John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands. Any other notable examples of filmmakers who've done this? I just think it's very sweet!"
"Starring Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, and Ruth Gordon."

"Another obvious one is John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands."
"John Cassavetes "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" was the winner!"
