Book Reviews of Cassavetes Directs: John Cassavetes and the Making of Love Streams

Book Review: insightful diary
Summary: 4 Stars

There are great nuts-and-bolts examples of Cassavetes filmmaking method, told by a person with an underlined admiration for this individual. The author really does work as the fly on the wall. I wish more of these types of journals existed for Cassavetes' other films.

Summary of Cassavetes Directs: John Cassavetes and the Making of Love Streams

In 1983, visionary film director John Cassavetes asked journalist Michael Ventura to write an on-set diary of the making of his film, Love Streams. The resulting book is an intimate portrait of Cassavetes, and a unique insight into his filmmaking philosophy. It details the creation of Cassavetes' final film before his death - shot by shot, crisis by crisis. The book is packed with insider details and anecdotes about Cassavetes, his actors and his Hollywood peers. It is an essential read for students, filmmakers, film historians and all fans of contemporary cinema.
