Shadows es una película de drama independiente estadounidense de 1958 dirigida por John Cassavetes sobre las relaciones raciales durante los años de la Generación Beat en Nueva York. La película está protagonizada por Ben Carruthers, Lelia Goldoni y Hugh Hurd como tres hermanos negros. La película se rodó inicialmente en 1957 y se mostró en 1958, pero una mala recepción impulsó a Cassavetes a reelaborarla en 1959. Promocionada como una película completamente improvisada, fue ensayada intensivamente en 1957, y en 1959 fue completamente guionizada.
