The story follows two seemingly unconnected individuals who are in the midst of personal crises. Robert Harmon (Cassavetes) is a successful writer who can't seem to control his libido; he fills his house with a rotating cast of attractive females in order to feel less lonely. Sarah Lawson (Gena Rowlands) is a fragile woman whose life begins to fall apart when her husband divorces her and retains custody of her daughter. In a series of events, Robert takes his young son Albie on a debauched trip to Las Vegas upon seeing him for the first time since his birth; he also tries to convince Sarah to love her own daughter just little bit less. John Cassavetes's last screen appearance as an actor, and last personal film as a director, is another challenging drama that tackles deeply profound questions without becoming heavy handed. [More]

Love Streams is at once a culmination of the director's obsessions and his most atypical film. Full Review |

One of Cassavetes' most maddening films, but also one of his most wondrous and special.

With Israeli filmmakers Golan and Globus watching over him, director John Cassavetes was guilty of less self-indulgence than usual, and the result is one of his best movies ever. Full Review |

John Cassavetes's career of risk taking comes to a climax in this rich, original, emotionally magnificent 1984 film. Full Review |

The movie is exasperating, because we never know where we stand or what will happen next. I think that's one of its strengths: There's an exhilaration in this roller-coaster ride through scenes that come out of nowhere. Full Review |
