Product: Shadows [VHS] (1959)
Rating: 4.0
Be patient with "Shadows"--it will pay off.
Cassavetes in again with another winner! Granted, a bit of patience is required to appreciate his super-realistic style, but by the end you will feel as though you are a part of this family, and this time in our history, regardless of what race you belong to. The scenes with the younger brother and his friends are so intimate and light-hearted you will wish you had friends like his. Cassavetes made this one with his own production company, which is something wonderful in a world (Hollywood) where selling out is the rule. A beautifully touching story of romance and family.
