Shadows
John Cassavetes' stunning directorial debut, starring Leila Goldoni as a light-skinned black woman whose romance with a white man (Anthony Ray) is threatened when he learns the truth. Cassavetes is especially sensitive to the way people forced to conform to any of society's norms about artists, intellectuals or racial outsiders can turn violent towards others, and this is a great taste of the films to come.
