Faces is a 1968 drama film, written and directed by John Cassavetes and starring John Marley, Cassavetes' wife Gena Rowlands, Fred Draper, Seymour Cassel and Lynn Carlin. Both Cassel and Carlin received Academy Award nominations for this film. Cassavetes was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for Faces. The film was shot in high contrast 16 mm black and white film stock. In 2011, it was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.
The film, shot in cinéma vérité-style, depicts the final stages of the disintegrating marriage of a middle-aged couple. We are introduced to various groups and individuals the couple interacts with after the husband, Richard Forst's (John Marley), sudden statement of his desire for a divorce. Afterwards, Richard spends the night in the company of brash businessmen and prostitutes, the wife with her middle-aged female friends and an aging, free-associating playboy they've picked up at a bar. The night proceeds as a series of tense conversations and confrontations occur, illustrating where the modern American lifestyle has failed to nourish the interests, love lives, and emotional/spiritual fulfillment of these characters. Nearly everyone we meet expresses deep dissatisfaction with their lives and also a resigned attitude to this malaise. The film offers little hope, only a suggestion that in this world merely understanding that we're unhappy or dissatisfied is a revelation.

"People stripped of all defense; an extraordinary, lacerating examination of middle-aged sexuality, in which clumsiness, lust, and failure in communication are portrayed as inevitable components. Cassavetes is the master of fictional 'cinema vérité' who subversively reveals us to ourselves" - Amos Vogel, Film as a Subversive Art CAST: John Marley, Gena Rowlands, Lynn Carlin, Seymour Cassel, Fred Draper, Val Avery CINEMATOGRAPHER: Al Ruban PRODUCERS: Maurice McEndree, Al Ruban WRITER & DIRECTOR: John Cassavetes For more information please visit: http://www.criterion.com/films/915-faces DISCLAIMER: I do not own the rights to this footage.

A funny moment full of wit.
Written and directed by John Cassavetes. This scene features Gena Rowlands, John Marley and Fred Draper.

Why did I upload this album? I guess it's because it's awesome. This is The Small Faces' third and most successful release, also their last album with singer/guitarist and founding member Steve Marriott who left to join Humble Pie shortly after. The band subsequently cancelled the tour planned for the album, recruited singer Rod Stewart and guitarist Ronnie Woods from the recently disbanded Jeff Beck Group, and changed their name to simply "The Faces". The original band didn't perform together again until almost a decade later. TRACKLIST: (00:00) 01. Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake (02:28) 02. Afterglow (Of Your Love) (05:58) 03.

I dreamed my life was done
I stood before god's son
It was time to see what my reward would be
With love he reviewed my life
To count what was done for christ
For that is what will last eternally
See I'd done my best to share
That jesus really cares
And he would save if they just believe
Oh, but seldom did harvest come
And so few did I see won
Until the lord said, "turn around and see."
Then he showed me the faces of the ones who'd come because of me
So many faces that my life had led to calvary
All those years I thought nobody saw as I labored in lowly places
That's when jesus smiled and showed me all the faces.
He said though you did not see the yield,
You were faithful to plow the field
At other times you helped me plant the seed
No matter how small the task, you did just as I asked
And thanks to you these souls have been set free.
Then he showed me the faces of the ones who'd come because of me
So many faces that my life had led to calvary
All those years I thought nobody saw as I labored in lowly places
That's when jesus smiled and showed me all the faces.
And for those years you thought
Nobody saw as you labored in lowly places
One day he'll smile and show you all the faces.
... the faces... you'll see their faces.
