Alexandre Rockwell, the director of “In the Soup”, is refered to as a “John Cassavetes-Sam Fuller protégé”.  The Philadelphia critical press places Alexandre Rockwell in a lineage forged by John Cassavetes, once again keeping Cassavetes in a historical context.  By G. Bond

Review says, “’In the Soup’ also stars Seymour Cassel, a big bear of a character actor and repertorial fixture of an earlier era's indie film pioneer - John Cassavetes. The Philadelphia critical press demonstrates its awareness of the history of independent cinema by connecting this film’s being an indie film with Seymour Cassel, the film’s link to the birth of independent cinema and John Cassavetes.  By G. Bond
