Directed by John Cassavetes and adapted from a play by Ted Allan, Love Streams follows a brother (Cassavetes) and his sister (Gena Rowlands) as they each navigate very different means of emotional escape: he repudiates love for casual sex, while she obsessively dives into romantic delusions of intimacy with those she loves. Funniest at its most melodramatic and saddest when its characters strive for levity, Love Streams offers both a summation of a career and detours into new aesthetic territory for a filmmaker who’d just been given (erroneously) six months to live.
