    Faces A John Cassavetes Film

    BFI

    Richard and Maria Forst (John Marley and Lynn Carlin), a middle-aged couple, are both seeking solace outside their sterile 14-year marriage, he with a prostitute (Gena Rowlands), she with a hunk at her local disco (Seymour Cassel). Their behaviour inevitably brings them to the brink of a break-up. John Cassavetes' uncompromising look at modern marriage was nominated for three Oscars.
