"There are movies that change the whole way in which films are made, like Klute, where Gordon Willisâ€™s photography on the film is so textured, and, they said, too dark. At first this was alarming to people, because theyâ€™re used to a certain way things are done within the studio system. And the studio is selling a product, so they were wary of people thinking that itâ€™s too dark."

-- Martin Scorsese
