The Whiskey A Go Go Scene

“Faces” from the incredibly well done John Cassavetes box set “Five Films” released by Criterion. Simply beautiful film making. I love how he edited this scene. The music, the absence of dialogue, the slow swirling camera waiting to reveal the next moment, the perfect cut to the eyes meeting for an instance and the music filtering internally to lock in the moment. It’s a scene that I have watched many times and still get more out of it each time. That’s rich and that was Cassavetes.
