@seanc thank a tonne for taking part again It was fun and i discovered a possible new favourite, and rediscovered one, just wish we could get more people to take part. Going to put this on hiatus until November when i'll try and get more people involved, if you are interested in taking part again i'll let you know and we can decide on someone. Think the October Challenge gives a break to try and convince some people to get involved, will watch four Lucio Fulci films for that to keep up my four from a director a month quota haha.
So glad we decided on Cassavetes. Went on quite a rollercoaster there from: jesus christ why did i not like this film - A Woman Under The Influence, to: man this is unwatchable - Shadows, to: think Rowlands is 90% why this film works i'm not really sure about Cassavetes - Opening Night, finally to: nah he deserves the credit - Love Streams. And yeah Rowlands is unbelievable, it's a shame she isn't more widely known although it's kind of a blessing because working in these sort of films clearly got her the right sort of roles for her talents. Also i noticed we watched a third of his films, thought he had more than 12 for some reason. My ranking/ratings:
01. Love Streams +
02. A Woman Under The Influence -
03. Opening Night -
04. Shadows
