Book Description

BFI Film Classics January 22, 2008
This is a study of the film Shadows, directed by John Cassavetes. The film tells the story of three beatnik siblings living together. In this book, Carney addresses how the film deals with racial issues, despite the director wishing it to be a human film concerned to rescue the "small feelings" of life.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

"Ray Carney is a tireless researcher who probably knows more about the shooting of Shadows than any other living being, including Cassavetes when he was alive, since Carney, after all, has the added input of ten or more of the film's participants who remember their own unique versions of the reality we all shared."--Maurice McEndree, producer and editor of Shadows

"Bravo! Cassavetes is fortunate to have such a diligent champion. I am absolutely dumbfounded by the depth of the research into this film. The appendix is a definitive piece of scholarly detective work. The Robert Aurthur revelation is another bombshell and only leaves me wanting to know more. The book movingly captures the excitement and dynamic Cassavetes discovered in filmmaking; and the perseverance and struggle of getting it up there on the screen."--Tom Charity, Film Editor, Time Out magazine
