You'll have to excuse my condescending pretentious candour but Faces, looks like Cassavetes saw Fellini's 8 1/2 and thought "I want to make films like that, I want make 'that' film, I could make that.... " Which is not to say that he's ripping it off wholesale but they're very similar films with similar astetics. Except it's the birth of the Cassavetes-born style of filmmaking - over written/improvised but beautifully photographed all the same. There's someway he and the camerapeople he uses make halls and living rooms look like glossy pages from a 50's American equivalent of Town and County.
