Jan 03 13 02:46 pm Link "Girl with a Pearl Earring"...Eduardo Serra It's a "kind of" story of J.Vermeer...a painter in the classic dutch style of Rembrandt. Serra lit nearly every scene in that Rembrandt style...really beautiful to watch... The movie itself is about a B+ IMO but just gorgeous to watch! Serra also shot 2 of the Harry Potter films,Blood Diamond and Unbreakable... plus around 60+ other films!!!

He collaborated on most films by Wong Kar-wai. He did a terrific job on Last Life in the Universe by Pen-ek Ratanaruang which is a beautiful movie. I love the look and moodiness of Michael Mann directed movies, in particular Miami Vice and Collateral (both filmed by Dion Beebe) and Heat and Manhunter (both filmed by Dante Spinotti). Jan 03 13 04:55 pm Link Janusz Kaminski- War Horse  Dante Spinotti - Heat  Dante Spinotti - Last of The Mohicans  Jordan Cronenweth - Blade Runner  Tonino Delli Colli - Once Upon A Time In America  Gordon Willis - The Godfather Part 2  Jan 03 13 05:28 pm Link MN camera wrote: any of mallick's films.

This has got to be the most awesome 1.5 minutes of pure adrenalin of a cinematography ---No cuts, for over 1 minute and 20 seconds. ---No CGI, there wasn't one, when they made this. ---Pure choreographic brilliance or every actor and every extra. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzd1gCc5CO8  .

Being infamous is not fun. It becomes a weird kind of occupation in and of itself.”" "Mr. Kristofferson, sounding more rueful than bitter, said that the reception to “Heaven’s Gate” knocked him off the Hollywood A-list for good. “I never really recovered from that,” he said, but he acknowledged that it was worse for Mr. Cimino. “It completely destroyed him.”"  Jan 04 13 07:29 am Link Ingmar Bergman "Persona" Akira Kurosawa especially "Ran" Jan 04 13 07:33 am Link |
