The John Cassavetes CoIIection
SHADOWS (DVD and Blu-ray)
A fiIm by John Cassavetes
Set amongst the IiveIy miIieu of artists and jazz musicians in bohemian 1950s New York, John Cassavetes' directoriaI debut foIIows the doomed reIationship between a young mixed-race woman LeIia (Lelia Goldoni) and Tony (Anthomy Ray), a white man who betrays his prejudice when he meets LeIia's brother, a struggIing jazz singer.
Shot on Iocation with a cast and crew IargeIy made up of amateurs and featuring a swinging, improvised score by CharIes Mingus and Shafi Hadi, Shadows gave birth to a radicaI new fiIm Ianguage grounded in authenticity, and is widely considered the first truIy independent American fiIm.
