What it’s about. James Benning’s "remake" of John Cassavetes’s Faces (1968) is an unexpected venture into the world of found footage filmmaking. As Benning explains, he’s reconstructed Cassavetes’s Faces in such a way that it’s comprised entirely of shots of single faces, each actor and actress is on screen as long as he or she is in the original and each scene is exactly as long as it is in the original. This reconstruction, he notes, remains steadfastly true to its title
Who’s in it. Faces stars John Marley as Richard Forst (archive footage), Gena Rowlands as Jeannie Rapp (archive footage), Lynn Carlin as Maria Forst (archive footage) and Seymour Cassel as Chet (archive footage).
