Abstract(s)
Realizado no ano de 1970, o filme Husbands é a quinta longa metragem do realizador e ator
John Cassavetes. No filme, um trio de homens de meia idade vive o luto causado pela morte
de um quarto amigo. Nesse processo de crise, revelam valores de sua interioridade através de
um conjunto particular de escolhas da realização. O trabalho dedica-se à identificação e
reflexão sobre a particular configuração de masculinidade vivida pelas personagens Harry
(Ben Gazzara), Gus (John Cassavetes) e Archie (Peter Falk) através de conhecimentos
sociológicos, antropológicos e psicológicos. O trabalho percorre as extensas estâncias da
realização cinematográfica analisando o valor expressivo decorrente de suas escolhas, assim
como modo de produção, e refletindo sobre diferentes aspectos revelados pelas personagens
conjugadas com a questão da masculinidade. Ao final, revelamos o intrínseco e transparente
jogo entre realizador e obra, como é o caso Cassavetes, assim como os mecanismos
colocados em prática para a produção de uma obra singular como Husbands.
ABSTRACT - Directed in 1970, the film Husbands is the fifth feature film by director and actor John Cassavetes. In the film, a trio of middle-aged men are mourning the death of a fourth friend. In this process of crisis, they reveal values of their interiority, intensely figured through the choices of direction. The work is dedicated to the identification and reflection on the particular configuration of masculinity experienced by the characters Harry (Ben Gazzara), Gus (John Cassavetes) and Archie (Peter Falk) through sociological, anthropological and psychological knowledge. The work covers the extensive areas of filmmaking, analyzing the expressive value resulting from director’s producing choices and reflecting on different aspects revealed by the characters in conjunction with the issue of masculinity. At the end, we reveal the intrinsic and transparent interplay between director and work, as is the case with Cassavetes, as well as the mechanisms put into practice for the production of a unique work such as Husbands.
