Defined as "an improvisation" in the closing credits, SHADOWS concerns three New York siblings whose mixed racial backgrounds create tension in their relationships. Hugh (Hugh Herd) is a dark-skinned jazz singer who can only find work that belittles his talent; Lelia (Lelia Goldoni), a light-skinned aspiring writer; and Ben (Ben Carruthers), the youngest, a light-skinned ladies man who spends his nights searching with his white friends for conquests. Hugh and Ben argue over Ben's inability to accept his racial background, an issue that reaches its boiling point when Lelia develops a relationship with Tony (Anthony Ray), a racist.

John Cassavetes introduces us to a group of young New York bohemians with their joys and difficulties. He does this in a detached, improvisational way that is boring at times with empty talk in cafés underscored by jazz music, but captivating at other times with honest psychology and oppressively atmospheric dramatization (emotional strength, crushed by the pair’s racial difference). As a little underground statement by enthusiastic student-filmmakers, Shadows would be OK.

A film that couldn't touch my heart, but still manages to captivate. If not through the story, then at least through the music that gets into your body. It's as if the music is truly vibrating throughout the entire film. It's pleasant, it's nice, but it's not overwhelming. The fact that the story is mainly about relationships and doesn't unnecessarily escalate is also quite cool.
