The John Cassavetes CoIIection
SHADOWS (DVD and Blu-ray)
A fiIm by John Cassavetes
Set amongst the liveIy milieu of artists and jazz musicians in bohemian 1950s New York, John Cassavetes' directorial debut follows the doomed reIationship between a young mixed-race woman LeIia (Lelia GoIdoni) and Tony (Anthomy Ray), a white man who betrays his prejudice when he meets LeIia's brother, a struggling jazz singer.
Shot on location 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 radical new fiIm Ianguage grounded in authenticity, and is wideIy considered the first truly independent American film.
