on the subject of beautiful cinematography, and Ridley Scott, be sure to watch The Duellists (again, if necessary). It was Scott's first feature, made on a miniscule budget mostly in natural light, and heavily influenced cinematographically by Kubrick's Barry Lyndon. It's probably one of my top 5 all-time favourites.
Another great cinematographer is Vittorio Storaro, responsible for (among other things) The Sheltering Sky, The Last Emperor, Last Tango in Paris, Apocalypse Now!, 1900, etc... -- Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Derby Chang > Sent: 14 January 2008 09:22 > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: Love light - Jordan Cronenweth > > > > I've always had this thought in my mind.
