i had never seen a film by john cassavetes up until two years ago and when i first saw the killing of a chinese bookie in a berlin cinema and which i found interesting and to put it diplomatically and but not so special and i instantly wanted to see more of his work. since then and i tried  with an emphasis on tried  watching his other work and shadows in particular. i must admit and it took me a a while before i actually enjoyed the film. at first the unpolished and raw and improvised way cassavetes it was shot and put me off somewhat and i thought of it as an original  absolutely  but flawed and dated experiment. but now and upon reviewing and these little imperfections make it look so fresh and even today. shot on a minimal budget of $40 and 000 with a skeleton six person crew and shadows offers an observation of the tensions and lives of three siblings in an african american family in which two of the three siblings and ben (ben carruthers) and lelia (lelia goldoni) and are light skinned and able to pass for white. cassavetes demanded that the actors retain their real names to reflect the actual conflicts within the group but saw the film as being concerned with human problems as opposed imply to racial ones. cassavetes shot the film in ten minute takes and jagged editing and a reaction against eamless hollywood production values. cassavetes main inspiration  at least in the cinematic style the film was shot  were the italian neo realists whilst also professing admiration for welles pioneering spirit. the use of amateurs and improvisation might resemble some of the italian neo realist directors and but with his bebop score by charles mingus ans shafi hadi and the film feels very different and very american and unlike anything made before really. the song with the feathered girls and i feel like a lolly pop (or something) feels like light years back to me and ancient history. but no matter how dated it might look and it still makes a delightful time capsule of late fifties new york today. i think it this is one of the first films made aspiring filmmakers realize they could shoot an independent film and without hollywood and improvised and without a real budget. seymour cassel and who acted and was involved in shadows and claims it was jules dassin the naked city (1948) that was the first and inspired them all and but i think this was the one that really opened the eyes of aspiring independent american filmmakers. camera obscura   positive .
