HK: Cassavetes was more, I mean a lot of people cite his techniques and his financial model; I never really thought of him like that. I always thought of him as magician. Like he conjured moments. And I thought what made him great was him. It wasn’t all the other stuff. It was that he was great. In fact, there is no model. It’s just him. It’s who he was. I don’t ever try to dissect him. I think he’s an American original. He’s like Ol’ Dirty Bastard or Tupac or Frank Sinatra. He’s cut from the same cloth.

Even if the comparison that you make with Marienbad is favourable to Jules et Jim, Resnais’s film is so special that people are more curious about it. Mine is a good film that one can see, his is a curiosity that one has to have seen. - François Truffaut in a letter to Helen Scott, 20 June 1962
