100 Faces Of John Cassavetes - A Tribute

This is something I wanted to do since I finished The Academy, and finally found the time; to make something that shows how much the films of John Cassavetes have influenced me... For me he is one of the greatest film directors that ever worked.

The concept was to take shots from almost all of his films (every one that he made independently except "Gloria"), and put them together in a completely new way. To take his films apart and put them together and try to show the intensity, energy, honesty that his films have in a much shorter form. (the only film that isn't his that I used is Elaine May's "Mikey and Nicky" as a representative of his acting career).

Why the depressing bullshit piano music? Cassavettes was about life and truth before being boxed into a concept, wether a youtube clip, a film or a fucking documentary. He was so much bigger and more of a genius than these docs manipulate for whatever stupid reason

[PeraShsh]

"the depressing bullshit piano music" was taken from his film. you really missed the point there...

none can put John Cassavetes into a box. most of the documentaries about him arent that good, most. there are a couple of great ones on him though... some excellent books...

and the best suggestion is to just watch his films. that is what is most important if you want to understand him

brando and want to fight for something really stupid but he´s laughing in his mind for all of this. james dean is smockin on the roof, and roberto benigni is falling in love with the house maid, i dont know, the stmosphere is sounding beta band and yo la tengo, i god is loving all of that.

sorry of mi language. all my life i talk and write spanish. i wanna right now take my backpack and go to the rute just to see the moon listen nick drake, and reading a lines of borges...

i can safely say we have a lot of the same influences running around in our brains...

Great video! People like Cassavetes make me proud to be alive.

it causes me such moving bittersweet feelings to get to read these comments by others who were also deeply affected by the great great great gift that cassavetes art was to the world .The only thing more rare in my life than finding another cassavetes fan would be another cassavetes. It always so sad & aggravating to me when I imagine how un(der)- appreciated his art has been . I LOVE getting to read all this deep , genuine engagement with his work . Thank you so much for making this tribute.

[duesenbergmj]

[msbirdy66]

@PeraShsh please can you tell me where do you find the music ? is there any CD of it ? thanks for your answer. L.

@PeraShsh @PeraShsh I love that most people who claim to like John are such phonies. "Why the depressing bullshit piano music? " People are so full of it. IT'S HIS MUSIC! haha.

The most profound mash-up on YouTube. Beautiful video for a beautiful spirit. Thanks a lot for making this.

Fantastic tribute. Thanx so much.

Very nicely done. Cassavetes is also a hero of mine.

Please pay NO ATTENTION to the empty-headed, pretentious geeks' comments that somehow got mixed in with the more enlightened ones.

You did a fine job celebrating & sharing the life of a gentle & often world & self-beaten down man-- amazingly filled with empathy for all people, like Christ. Watching your dedication reminds me of DeNiro's perfect capturing of Jake LaMatta throughout Raging Bull: raw & still running bloody with emotions, painful and blessing years afterthefact. Bella!
