<\/a><\/p>\n\nIn a little bit over a month, John Cassavetes’ final film, Love Streams<\/i> (1984), starring him and his wife\/collaborator\/muse\/genius Gena Rowlands (who just turned 84<\/a>) will finally be released on DVD, via Criterion, with a video-essay about Gena Rowlands’ acting, penned\/narrated by yours truly, included in the Special Features. <\/p>\n August 12 is the release date of Love Streams<\/i>.<\/a><\/p>\n The film was never put out on DVD. Only on video, and then in a truncated studio-cut version. So even if you want to see Love Streams<\/i> now, you have to watch it on video (which is what I do), or wait for it to be shown at a Cassavetes retrospective at some art house. It’s about time that this film (which is a masterpiece) is finally going to be available! Un-cut, digitally restored. It’s a major moment for a major American director, not to mention one of the best actresses ever. <\/p>\n I can’t wait to finally see it all put together. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a little bit over a month, John Cassavetes’ final film, Love Streams (1984), starring him and his wife\/collaborator\/muse\/genius Gena Rowlands (who just turned 84) will finally be released on DVD, via Criterion, with a video-essay about Gena Rowlands’ acting, … Continue reading
