I can never decide with Ferrara. Have you seen his version of Invasion of the Body snatchers that he did for TV? I loved that. I get the feeling he's better when put under a bit of control - which a TV movie is more likely to impose than an indie one. He'd be great working in collaboration with someone like Scorsese, who'd provide a bit more focus while Ferrara would lend that 'edge' that I think Scorsese lost quite some time ago. It's actually a shame directors don't collaborate more, where both could help compensate for the other's shortcomings. Imagine how incredibly Eyes Wide Shut could've been had they left Kubrick to do the big visual set pieces and then brought in someone like Bertolluci to handle the scenes between Cruise and Kidman.
