Love Streams is John Cassavetes' eleventh film, based on the play by Ted Allan and Cassavetes (though the actual amount of correlation between the play and the film script is minimal). It was originally presented on stage in 1980, with Jon Voight playing the role of Robert Harmon (Cassavetes would take up this role in the film version). It tells the story of a middle-aged brother and sister who find themselves caring for one another after the other loves in their lives abandon them.

The visual style of this film is decidedly different from Cassavetes' other works, as it contains no hand-held camera work (which was a trademark of his visual style).

Though Cassavetes would direct one final film after Love Streams, mainly in an attempt to finance a final (unrealized) directorial effort, most fans consider Love Streams to be Cassavetes' final work.
