“…it was at once their cross and salvation. john’s approach was warm, embracing, focused on people. relationships were all he was interested in. the laughter and the games, the tears and the guilt; the whole roller coaster of love. cassavetes embodied the emergence of a new school of guerrilla filmmaking in new york. his films were literally made on the credit plan. john was fearless, a true renegade setting up one psychodrama after another with the complicity of a whole close group of actor friends. he insisted on having fun when making films while looking for some kind of truth. maybe even a revelation.” - martin scorsese on john cassavetes in a personal journey with martin scorsese through american movies
