Love Streams is a 1984 American film directed by John Cassavetes, in what would be his final independent feature and penultimate directorial project.

The film was entered into the 34th Berlin International Film Festival where it won the Golden Bear.

Plot
Undergoing a messy divorce from a husband and daughter tired of her continuously overwrought emotional states, Sarah Lawson visits her brother Robert Harmon, an alcoholic playboy and writer who is in a tenuous relationship with Susan, a professional singer, although he carefully avoids any real emotional commitment to anyone. Robert is visited by his ex-wife, who forces him to take care of their eight-year-old son, whom he has not seen since his birth, for 24 hours.

Robert's son is terrified by the hedonistic, decadent, womanizing world of his father and begs to be taken home following an overnight trip to Las Vegas filled with gambling and prostitutes. After dropping him off, Robert is beaten up by the boy's stepfather, after which his son testifies his love for Robert.

Fleeing the scene, Robert returns home to take care of his sister, his "best friend." Sarah tries with some success to curb the nihilistic self-destruction of Robert's life and simultaneously deal with her own depression and divorce. She buys him some farm animals in the hope he can give his love to them; Robert struggles between his intense desire to protect his sister and the challenge of accepting her freedom as the necessary cost of love. Finally, after a bizarre dream of being in an opera with her husband and daughter, Sarah feels ready to resume her life and possibly even get her family back, or not. Before Sarah walks away from the house in the middle of a storm as Robert looks on, he hallucinates that the dog she gave him has turned into a naked man. Robert laughs hysterically.
