Richard, an elderly businessman, suddenly leaves his wife and begins an affair with a younger woman. Meanwhile Maria, Richard\u2019s wife, also meets and spends a night with a younger man. However, their attitudes towards what happened are radically different. The film creates a tense atmosphere that occasionally boils up to a point of emotional explosion, reinforced by the use of handheld camera filming technique and, as it seems, unintentional solutions to framing. \u2018Faces\u2019 is a brilliant example the best cinematic approaches developed by the legendary American. Cassavetes, together with friends and associates, including his wife Gena Rowlands, had been working on the film for three years, investing their personal financial resources in the process. Like his later films \u2018Husbands\u2019 (1970), \u2018A Woman Under the Influence\u2019 (1974), and \u2018Love Streams\u2019 (1984), \u2018Faces\u2019 belongs to the golden standard of independent filmmaking.
