Faces (1968)

John Marley and Gena Rowlands star alongside Seymour Cassel and Lynn Carlin (both of whom earned Oscar nominations for their supporting roles) in this relationship drama from the great John Cassavetes.

Middle-aged suburban husband Richard abruptly tells his wife, Maria, that he wants a divorce. As Richard takes up with a younger woman, Maria enjoys a night on the town with her friends and meets a younger man. As the couple and those around them confront a seemingly futile search for what they've lost -- love, excitement, passion -- this classic American independent film explores themes of aging and alienation.
