1984 American film byJohn Cassavetes that tells the story of a middle-aged brother and sister who find themselves caring for one another after the other loves in their lives abandon them. The visual style of the film is decidedly different from Cassavetes' other works, as it contains no hand-held camera work (which was a trademark of his visual style).The film is based on the
1980 play of the same name byTed Allen but the correlation between the screenplay and the play is minimal. In the stage production, the role of Robert Harmon was played byJon Voight ; Cassavetes took up this role for the film version."Love Streams" film was originally released with a running time of 141 minutes. It was briefly available on
videotape in the mid-80s, in a version cut to 122 minutes by the distributor: one scene was edited and several unusual visual effects (the insertion of black leader andjump cut s) were removed. In 2003, it was released on DVD in France (along with "A Child Is Waiting ") in its entirety."Love Streams" was
John Cassavetes ' eleventh film, and most of his fans consider it his final work,Fact|date=February 2007 although in fact he made "Big Trouble", a more mainstream film afterwards, mainly in an attempt to finance a subsequent unrealized project.###@@@KEY@@@###succession box
