    #siff 22# Cassavetes is very good at capturing that raw neuroticism and vulnerability in people, and cherishes it very much. After these two traits are removed from the dimension of adult traits, it is a kind of return that is very close to the child. So when Mabel dances in the backyard with her children to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake Overture, that quality is both gorgeous and tragic at the same time, passing through every pore of the body like an electric...

This has the same roots as Video Artist Paul McCarthy, who opposes a puppet show. Casavettes' hopes are concrete, not borrowed. Not long after the opening, Mebal, Nick, Grandma and the three children were lying on the living room bed whistling, light streaming in through the blinds. So when the last couple pulled out of bed, we knew what they...

    On the surface, it is hysterical and schizophrenic, but on the inside it is fragile tenderness, family criticism, and gender oppression. The heroine is five...
