DESCRIPTION:

The trailblazing independent auteur John Cassavetes pushes his raw, uncompromising emotional realism to it's limit in this unflinching portrait of masculinity in crisis. Cassavetes joins Ben Gazzara and Peter Falk both of whom would become key collaborators of the director's playing a trio of middle-aged Long Island family men who, following the sudden death of their best friend, channel their grief into an epic, multiday bender that takes them from Manhattan to London in a desperate, debauched quest to feel alive. By turns painfully funny and woundingly perceptive, this self-described comedy about life, death, and freedom stands as perhaps the most fearless, harrowingly honest deconstruction of American manhood ever committed to film.
