Marvin & Tige 1985

The compassion between Cassavetes and the kid in this film is amazing, check it with an open mind if you’re a mans man type. I guarantee you've never seen this level of relationship between men in any other movie, especially with a kid. Some great dialogue with cassavetes and the kid, a few extremely moving scenes, and a nutty soundtrack at times. Any fan will see this as a lost gem from his “Woman Under the Influence”,”Gloria” era. Anybody who has no idea what to expect, they don't make movies like this anymore.

Remember, Cassavetes made the first interracial indie film “Shadows” in a the 60s. In a sense, Marvin & Tige is a what if Cassavetes character in Shadows hit middle age as a vagabond. And then meets the other vagabond, who happens to be a kid. Won't spoil the film and explain the whole premise of why the kid is homeless but, man oh man, this is the type of movie that comes once is huge blue moon.

Terrible music score aside, this is a sensitively played film that breaks the heart.
