Steven Spielberg is a respected film director. Many will even call him an auteur. When you watch a Spielberg film, you know it&#8217;s a Spielberg film &#8212; or at least one made by his myriad imitators. John Cassavetes is a respected film director. No one will deny the fact that Cassavetes is a film auteur. When you watch a Cassavetes film, you know it&#8217;s a Cassavetes film &#8212; or at least a Henry Jaglom imitation of a Cassavetes film. 
Now, apart from self-important works [...]]]></description>
