That quote is fantastic. I've never had too hard a time watching Godard's stuff. His stuff is abrasive, but it's just so damn clever and spontaneous feeling.
Guys like Herzog I find to be a much more difficult sword to swallow. Stroszek was pretty cool, Even Dwarves Started Small is outstanding (my personal fav) and I personally loved his Bad Lieutenant, starring Nic Cage. But goddamnit, it must have taken me 3 tries to sit through Herz Aus Glas in it's entirety.
Godard keeps me guessing, I think that's why I find him so compelling.
