"I'm a club owner. I deal in girls."
Cosmo Vitelli, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie
Most understated line, ever.
I think it's important to separate the films from the people who create them. Cassavetes wrote about mysoginistic characters and weak and wild women to be sure, but that doesn't necessarily mean he was mysoginistic, or that his films as a whole were.
Also, we need to define what a mysoginistic film is. Is a film mysoginistic if it portrays women in a degrading or hurtful light, or must it actively try to convince the viewer that women are weak or stupid?
