Faces [Blu-Ray and DVD]

Dual Format Edition containing the DVD and world premiere Blu-ray release of John Cassavetes' astonishingly powerful 1968 feature, Faces, a film which has had a huge and lasting impact on independent filmmaking, evident in the work of Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee and Jim Jarmusch to name only a few. Set in suburban middle-class America of the 1960s, Faces portrays the disintegration of a marriage with an honesty rarely matched in cinema. Originally released when Cassavetes was a big name Hollywood acting star (The Dirty Dozen, Rosemary's Baby) Faces was nominted for 3 Oscars – an unheard-of achievement for an independent film at the time.Extra features:Presented in both High Definition and Standard DefinitionAlternative opening sequence (17 mins, DVD only)Optional audio commentary on alternative opening sequence by Peter Bogdanovich and Al Ruban (17 mins, DVD only)Seymour Cassel interview with Tom Charity (47 mins)
