LOVE STREAMS   Director: John Cassavetes Year: 1984 Runtime: 141 min. Country: USA Language: English Color: Color Format: 16mm

Made when John Cassavetes had learned he had only six months to live (although he would ultimately live another six years), Love Streams represent a farewell of sorts to his audience and to the art of filmmaking itself. Robert Harmon (Cassavetes) is a popular novelist who spends his days immersed in a haze of alcohol and women. Sarah Lawson (Gena Rowlands) is a woman undergoing the pain and frustration of a bitter custody battle with her estranged husband Jack (Seymour Cassell). Together, these two lost souls embark on a differing but equally desperate quest for love, growth and renewal. Winner of the Golden Bear award for Best Picture, 1984 Berlin Film Festival "**** Raw, spontanious. There's an exhilaration in this rollercoaster ride through scenes that come out of nowhere." — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "John Cassavetes's career of risk taking comes to a climax in this rich, original, emotionally magnificent 1984 film." — Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader     showtime Thursday, April 22 at 6:30 pm location Nevada Museum of Art - Prim Theater 160 West Liberty Street admission $6 general / $4 GBFS or NMA members
