{"product_id":"husbands-1970","title":"HUSBANDS (1970)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe trailblazing independent auteur John Cassavetes pushes his raw, uncompromising emotional realism to its limit in this unflinching portrait of masculinity in crisis. Cassavetes joins Ben Gazzara and Peter Falk—both of whom would become key collaborators of the director's—playing a trio of middle-aged Long Island family men who, following the sudden death of their best friend, channel their grief into an epic, multiday bender that takes them from Manhattan to London in a desperate, debauched quest to feel alive. By turns painfully funny and woundingly perceptive, this self-described \"comedy about life, death, and freedom\" stands as perhaps the most fearless, harrowingly honest deconstruction of American manhood ever committed to film.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecial Features and Technical Specs:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNEW 4K RESTORATION OF THE FILM\u003c\/b\u003e, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio commentary from 2009 featuring critic Marshall Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew interviews with producer Al Ruban and actor Jenny Runacre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew video essay by filmmaker Daniel Raim, featuring audio recordings of John Cassavetes in his own words, exploring the actor-director's spirited approach to acting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Story of \"Husbands\"—A Tribute to John Cassavetes (2009), a half-hour program featuring Ruban, actor Ben Gazzara, and cinematographer Victor J.
