I'M ALMOST NOT CRAZY: JOHN JOHN CASSAVETES THE MAN AND HIS WORK

Michael Ventura’s documentary I’m Almost Not Crazy: John Cassavetes – the Man and His Work (1984, 60 min), was shot on the set of Cassavetes’ penultimate film, Love Streams (1984). Made while the director was ill and uncertain whether he would be able to complete another film, Love Streams was a self-conscious meditation on death, as well as a farewell to cinema. Alternating behind-the-scenes glimpses at the production process with insightful conversations with Cassavetes and his life-long collaborators (such as wife Gena Rowlands and Seymour Cassel), Ventura’s film offers an intimate look at one of the most personal and unique filmmakers in cinema history.

A rare and invaluable chronicle of their hero doing and talking about what he loved best: filmmaking. Those who don’t should gain new respect for the man, his methods, his passion, and his absolute commitment to his own unique vision of the human comedy.
