	John Cassavetes
		The film title momentarily flashes Faces, and that is all the introduction the venerable improvisational director, John Cassavetes, will need in order to present his film.
		Faces follows an evening in the lives of Richard and Maria Forst (Lynn Carlin), a couple who, after fourteen years of marriage, is at a relational crossroads.
		In contrast to the active and confrontational camerawork of his earlier films (most notably in Faces), John Cassavetes creates a spare, muted, and objective portrait, capturing with underlying compassion the empty lives of emotionally adrift characters who act out the ache of their unarticulated despair through incomprehensible, cruel, and often self-destructive acts.

	Faces Of Death/Faces Of Death - Fact Of Fiction?
		If you revisit the film though, especially on DVD where the picture quality is cleaner and clearer than those VHS bootlegs most of us first experienced the film on, it's quite obvious that many of the film's most notorious scenes are not real.
		The film has never looked pristine and seeing as it was culled from various it should go without saying that the visual quality fluctuates depending on the scene and the source material used for that scene.
		Those who have seen the film via shoddy VHS tapes, and usually bootleg or 9th generation copies at that, will be pleased to see that the film looks much better here than it ever did on tape, even if it's still far from perfect.

	Carney's discovery of a long print of Faces
		The first version of Shadows and the long version of Faces are two of Ray Carney's most important artistic finds, but Professor Carney has made a name for himself as the discoverer and presenter of many other new and unknown works of art.
		Faces went through five or six completely different assemblies, with different scenes, different shot selections within scenes, different mood music, and different running times for each version.
		Carney summarizes the artistic importance of the discovery: "Faces is one of the seminal masterworks of American independent film.

	Performing the everyday: Time and affect in John Cassavetes' Faces
		In Cassavetes' work, the performance of character and identity is generated in the moment of filming, a moment that likewise leaves a trace on the performing body (of both character and actor) (7).
		In the last scene of the film where Richard (John Marley) and Maria sit on the staircase smoking, (after Richard has returned home from spending the night with a prostitute only to find Maria recovering from her own liaison with Chet), there is a decided ambiguity and uncertainty regarding their status as a couple.
		But the film finally does end, or rather arrests; Maria eventually walks away into the kitchen and Richard walks into the upstairs section of the house, and with a frontal long shot of the staircase the film stops.

	Faces of Globalization: Filmmakers in Korea
		Two local films -- a Korean War blockbuster "Taegukgi" (the South Korean national flag), and "Silmido," a film based on the true story of the aborted commando mission to assassinate the North Korean leader -- attracted more than 10 million viewers respectively this year in a country with a population of 48 million.
		South Korean films are increasingly popular across Asia and further afield in America or Western Europe and their stars have extended to out of the country.
		The explosive growth of the South Korean film industry is largely attributable to the so-called "screen quota" system, the decades-long legal shield for homegrown films against the flood of Hollywood movies.

		What they actually talk about is anyone’s guess, since much of the dialogue is inaudible, but the sections that are intelligible are best described by one line in the movie: “Blah, blah, blah.” And when actors are given loads of blah-blah-blahs, their performances come across as one single, flat blah.
		Faces is a historically important motion picture because it is, at least officially, the first independently made and distributed American film to reach mainstream audiences.
		The film within a film begins with two drunk, middle-aged businessmen babbling the night away in the company of a high-class prostitute.

	Film Noir "Fade to Black" Red Inkworks
		Film noir, occasionally acerbic, usually cynical, and often enthralling, gave us characters trying to elude some mysterious past that continues to haunt them, hunting them down with a fatalism that taunts and teases before delivering the final, definitive blow.
		A progenitor of the film noir of the 1960's, Lang was preoccupied throughout his oeuvre with the dark side of human nature: vengeance, violence, and the criminal mind.
		He is not a film scholar, but he is a good writer with the passion of a B-movie fan, and his entertaining look at a niche in film history is readable and well researched.

		Angels With Dirty Faces (1938) is a classic example of a Warner Bros. gangster/crime melodrama of the 1930s - a slick, action-packed, hard-hitting studio film layered with a touch of social conscience.
		However, Rocky pretends to be a coward as he walks to the electric chair at the end of the film, to disillusion the "Dead End" Kids of gangster glamor.
		Jerry faces the challenges of teaching boys like Rocky when he was younger and working with tough, gutter-bred neighborhood boys (including the "Dead End" kids), trying to make them decent citizens.

		Not simply a biography, this film is at its core an exploration of the effects of growing up under Fascism, being a believer until the bitter end, and then coming to understand and accept the horrifying and heartrending reality of the Holocaust.
		The film attempts to answer questions about how a fascist mentality is first created, and what happens when the illusion of heroism, upon which it is based, is destroyed.

		Making a film which returns to the independent roots of Shadows, not to mention its stylistic methods, such chitchat seems to have been included as a kind of fuck you to the Hollywood system.
		What Faces does have in common with Shadows, however, is the fact that there are no great dramatic necessities for the film to hang onto.
		As with Cassel’s commentary on Shadows, his 46-minute chat to film historian Tom Charity discusses as much what went on behind the camera as it does his role as an actor, whilst his associations with Cassavetes, which lasted many years, also allows for some choice anecdotage and some considered discussion of his working methods.
