First in the Cassavetes box set, this was my intro to him. The nature of the characters and the world-building reminded me of Éric Rohmer, and it was intriguing to see the same movie magic in an American setting. I'm writing this review after starting to watch Faces, and I can now tell that Shadows only had the seeds of his emerging uniqueness. Refreshing and impressive.
