"A few weeks back, listener DJP requested a show on spirituality, which coincides nicely with the Film + Faith blog-a-thon kicking off this week. As we thought about it, the spiritual is so broad and pervasive in movies it’s hard to know where to start. Somehow, Kevin and I sojourn on The Dareeling Limited, Children of Men and A Woman Under the Influence. Karina investigates the “curse” surrounding one of the most spiritual characters in moviedom, Joan of Arc. (Subscribe to FilmCouch in the iTunes store and an episode will download each Friday.) Clockwise from top left: Jean Seberg Saint Joan (1957), Ingrid Bergman Joan of Arc (1948), Ren??e Maria Falconetti

"Cassavetes is one of those directors you either love or hate. Much the same way people are totally polarized on the works of Tarantino, or the film Magnolia, Cassavetes has driven film fanatics to loathe him, critics to praise him, and general audiences to simultaneously revile and admire him. He can either open an entire world of film to you, or simply reinforce your preconceived notions of the pretentiousness of auteur films, and in that he is singular. If the validity of art were based on its ability to produce extreme emotion Cassavetes would be considered a DaVinci. The way in which he achieves this provocation of emotion is special too. No other director, not Ozu, Renior, Scorsese, or Anderson (either of them), has successfully captured the essence of feeling in their films the way Cassavetes does. You don’t watch one of his films, you feel it, you live it. The audience registers every second of joy, anguish, or pain that floats across the characters’ faces. This ... "

"If Hitchcock's Rear Window, and Michael Powell's Peeping Tom are the quintessential voyeuristic films, than John Cassevettie's A Woman Under The Influence invites you in to it's home, and doesn't care what you see or if it makes you uncomfortable. The godfather of independent film, with his crew consisting of friends and family, A Woman Under The Influence feels more personal and uncompromising than anything I have ever seen. With his use of hand held cameras, natural lighting, and non-actors, Cassavetes completely destroyed the conventional film making process. A Woman Under the Influence remains to be as powerful as when it was first released. The performances by his own wife, Gena Rowlands and Peter Falk are so intense and truthful, that they stay with you for days after a viewing. Without a doubt, they are two of the greatest performances you will ever see. "
