Haha oh man, I didn't know that! I did wonder whether the fall was on purpose or accidental, and I assumed the latter knowing what I know about Cassavetes' films, but that's too much!

Too late blues is excellent though could have been masterful with another lead actor and Big Trouble is just worth watching for Falk who is a master comic actor, Arkin shows that the In Laws was a fluke in terms of his ability

03.
Gloria
(8/10)
04.
Too Late Blues
(7/10)
Watching
Gloria
tonight and
Faces
sometime soon. I think Cassavetes is the greatest technical director based on the first two alone, but in terms of telling a story, or as he put it "Being an adult," his narratives tend to exhaust their stay. The opening of
Opening Night
is some of the most brilliant filmmaking of all-time, but as it progresses and Cassavetes focuses on supporting characters for long one-shots it loses its charm and becomes another morbid look at adulthood. That's the one I've most recently seen.
