Here’s an interesting quote from Stanley Kubrick on\u00a0Girlfriends<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Foix<\/span><\/em><\/strong>: Are you interested in the new paths or trends within current Hollywood production being tried by people like Coppola, Schrader, Spielberg, Scorsese or DePalma?<\/span><\/p>\n

Kubrick<\/span><\/em><\/strong>: I think one of the most interesting Hollywood films, well not Hollywood — American films — that I’ve seen in a long time is Claudia Weill’s\u00a0Girlfriends<\/i>. That film, I thought, was one of the very rare American films that I would compare with the serious, intelligent, sensitive writing and filmmaking that you find in the best directors in Europe. It wasn’t a success, I don’t know why; it should have been. Certainly I thought it was a wonderful film. It seemed to make no compromise to the inner truth of the story, you know, the theme and everything else.<\/span><\/p>\n

…<\/span><\/p>\n

The great problem is that the films cost so much now; in America it’s almost impossible to make a good film — which means you have to spend a certain amount of time on it, and have good technicians and good actors — that aren’t very, very expensive. This film that Claudia Weill did, I think she did on an amateur basis; she shot it for about a year, two or three days a week. Of course she had a great advantage, because she had all the time she needed to think about it, to see what she had done. I thought she made the film extremely well.<\/span><\/p>\n
