Sombras (1960)
Años 60 en la ciudad de Nueva York. Lelia y Tony son una feliz pareja. Un día conoce al hermano de su novia y descubre que ambos son de raza negra, aunque ella no lo parezca. Película fundamental dentro de la evolución del cine, al ser considerada el origen del cine independiente estadounidense. "Sombras" fue el debut como director del hasta entonces actor John Cassavetes. La película fue filmada en la calle, con actores desconocidos, una cámara de 16 milímetros en mano y una escasa subvención pública de 40.000 dólares. "Sombras" está rodada con asfixiantes primeros planos de unos actores que resultan desgarradores por su naturalidad, ya que, además, hacen de ellos mismos. Cassavetes fue uno de los primeros directores en mostrar los ambientes intelectuales y bohemios de Nueva York a través de un tema, las relaciones interraciales, muy poco habitual en el cine de finales de los 50.
Directora: John Cassavetes
