Arthouse Drive-In Ep. 10: 'Faces' (1968)

In the Season One finale, Robert and T tackle one of the defining films of the American Independent Film Movement. It’s that time of the year! Welcome to the Season One finale of Arthouse Drive-In. Robert and T end their first run of episodes by exploring a masterpiece: John Cassavetes' Faces (1968). Faces follows a married couple on the rocks who seek comfort and excitement in the arms of other lovers, but they are constantly plagued by the complicated nature of their own emotions. Robert and T discuss the emotional turbulence that Cassavetes creates throughout each scene, and how the film helped usher in a new era of narrative art filmmaking in America. It's always sad to say goodbye, so instead, Arthouse Drive-In will just say, "See you later." The show will return for Season Two bigger and better than ever. Stay tuned, and thanks for listening!
