Faces
Cassavetes rivetting and personal study of a crumbling marriage with John Marley as a salesman who finds comfort in the arms of prostitute Gena Rowlands, while his wife has a tryst with an aging hipster that plunges her into depression. Cinematic discomfort of the highest order, that, like a car-wreck, is impossible to look away from.
