'Love Streams' is last work by late director
By Aurora Leute | February 7, 1996Some films truly exemplify the powerful visions of their directors -- such as one showing tonight, which will break through all of its viewers' preconceived constructions. The late John Cassavetes' final film, "Love Streams" (1984), will play tonight in Loew Auditorium as part of the Film Society's 'Auteurs' Series. Although he is more well known for his appearances in "The Dirty Dozen," "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Fury," for example, he made eleven films independently and earned his place among American auteurs. His first film, "Shadows," made in 1960, an improvisation with dialogue, was hailed as a film manifesto by the New York independent film scene.
