There’s a ton of interesting stuff here in Lelia Goldoni’s powerful performance as a young woman navigating love and relationships in this bizarre little flick from the Beat Generation, John Cassavetes’ Shadows. The premise is simple. A girl and her two brothers are trying to make their way in the New York wilds, a place both vibrant and impersonal. They are all artists, bohemians, her brothers Hugh and Ben, jazz musicians, struggling to survive in a city filled with men with an instrument and a dream. Lelia herself has her own struggle; as a woman with a mind, spirit, and independence, and as an ambiguous woman of color residing in artistic spaces that are often very White. The point IS…if you’re yourself, you won’t get hurt. ~Lelia~ It’s a movie that was basically ahead of its time for the way the Black characters and the super-sensitive (for its time) themes of mixed-race people and interracial love, was treated. Leila herself is a progressive kinda woman for the 1950s. She stands up for herself, she knows the kind of love she’s looking for, and her confidence in who she is is refreshing! Goldoni is quirky, passionate and vulnerable. She makes you laugh in one scene and can bring tears to your eyes in the other. Admittedly, for the longest time, I thought she actually WAS of partial African-American descent but she is actually Italian-American, popping up in another favorite of mine, a flick that is as far removed from race and Beat...

John Cassavetes' Shadows is one of the pioneering works of the American independent movement. Made for $40,000 with a nonprofessional cast and crew, using rented and borrowed 16mm equipment, the film depicts a few days in the lives of three African-American siblings – Hugh, Ben, and Lelia. Hugh, the big brother, is the responsible one, who supports himself and his siblings both financially and emotionally. As a floundering jazz singer unable to get his career off the ground, he struggles to maintain his dignity and composure as he skirmishes with the impresario Ackerman, his manager Rupert, and his younger brother Ben. Ben is Hugh's opposite – a self-absorbed, self-pitying Beat drifter and carouser who mooches Hugh's hard earned cash and squanders it cruising for girls and getting into barroom brawls with his buddies Tom and Dennis. But the de facto star of Cassavetes' film without stars is Hugh and Ben's flirtatious, self-dramatizing, light-skinned little sister, Lelia. She is dating an older man, David, when Shadows begins, but meets a callow Don Juan named Tony at a party and has sex with...
