For more clips like this, background to the clips, and a most enjoyable, all-around guide to "everything from high art to low trash and back again," visit the blog for the NYC cult cable-access show Media Funhouse, located here:www.mediafunhouse.blogspot.comWe conducted this phone interview about the films of John Cassavetes with Gena Rowlands and Seymour Cassel in 1997 in conjunction with the first home-video release of "Shadows" and "Faces" (the footage viewed is from the latter film). The duo talk about the very important issue (to fans and critics alike) of the very lengthy early versions of Cassavetes' films that were shown to film festival and select screening audiences, many of which were radically different from the films as we now know them. You can tell the interview took place in the mid-'90s -- witness the mention of "laser discs." More information about the show can be found at our website, www.mediafunhouse.com
