What critics compared Shadows to
Mostly these places are addresses in New York City and Baumbach films in black-and-white to not just evoke Woody Allen’s Manhattan (1979), but also the early work of pioneering American independent filmmaker John Cassavetes, especially the New York set Shadows (1959).
It's not John Cassavetes' Shadows (1959), but what Kevin Smith's Clerks (1994), lacks in subtlety it makes up for in laughs.
Quentin Tarantino came out of nowhere with perhaps the most astonishing, explosive American debut film since John Cassavetes' Shadows (1959), even if it only played to small, enthusiastic crowds in art houses.
Across the pond, at the time Breathless was being filmed, John Cassavetes was also making his directorial feature debut with Shadows .
