Quote: John Cassavetes on His Films

"People have said that my films are very difficult to watch, that they're experiences you are put through rather than ones you enjoy, and it's true."

A Woman Under the Influence was brilliant, but I'll never watch it again. On the other hand, I've seen the equally great The Killing of a Chinese Bookie a couple of times, and I'll readily rewatch it. Cassavetes' films run the gamut of 'involvement'.
