Really good cinematography always inspires me to shoot more. The Third Man has some excellent examples. I think the opening shot of The Shining is incredibly good and Kubrick, generally, has been responsible for some of the most aesthetically impressive US cinema, period.įilm Noir always wins me over - chiaroscuro and all that. (He also did the Photography of Central station, carandidu, madame sata) I have a lot, but if I could only pick one, it would be "To the left of the father" (Lavoura Arcaica), Walter Carvalho.amazing brasilean picture, real poetry in motion. Which reminds me, GATTACA, holds one of the best "Cine-phy" for sci-fi films. I must also mention Roger Deakins for The Big Lebowski, even if only for that one shot from inside the bowling ball.įauxtographer edited this topic ages ago.ĭefinitely BLEU, that's the best out of the Couleur trilogie. My own personal standard of excellence for cinematography, however, is Caleb Deschanel's work for The Black Stallion. I'll have to second Hokulea's mention of The Third Man. Oh and Trainspotting and Requiem for a Dream are faves as well for their style. I have to watch it again soon to take it all in. I can't believe I waited this long to see it. I love Kieslowski's trilogy, but one recent one I saw that really stunned me was Baraka ( ). Recent Brazilian film "City of God" is marvelous. "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels." is a treat. You don't know what you guys are doing to my netflix queue!! :D Can't wait.Īctually, whileI'm on the topic I'd like to add Manhunter and Traffic. I just saw the trailer for Miami Vice too last night. The darks in the final scene are amazing. you get the jist of what kind of style I like. I love the feel of that movieĬhristopher Doyle's stuff, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, Royal Tenenbaums, Ikiru, Kagemusha, Once Upon a Time in the West, The Good The Bad and the Ugly, The New World, Roger Deakins, Tak Fujimoto, Rear Window, Psycho, The Return, Collateral. The photography is nuts and the fact that they used absolutely minimal special effects prefering to shoot everything in camera.

Altho films like FULL METAL JACKET and WHAT DREAMS MAY COME have been major influences for me. I'd say it's between THE THIN RED LINE and RAISE THE RED LANTERN. I am so happy that people have seen real films!!!Īs opposed to the ones projected on the back of my eyelids 8-) The former for the letter box at the end of Suzanne Pleschette's garden and the blood on Tippi Hedrens gloved finger, and the latter for the Wellesian depth of field in shots of the great hall in the dance academy.Īndrewharmellaw edited this topic ages ago. Going back to the days of technicolour, I've got to mention "The Birds" and "Suspiria". Hmm, now you're inspiring me to check out some of these movies! The 8mm shots in Ciao! Manhattan with Edie Sedgwick by Andy Warhol World Of Jedediah edited this topic ages ago. JFK, The Doors (only warhol scene), Touch of Evil,Goodfellas, Last Year at Marienabad, The Shining, Clockwork Orange, Raging Bull, The Long Goodbye, Kiss me Deadly, Interiors, The Last Waltz.well you get the point. No other cinematographer has captured emotion with the movement of images (recently) as Harris Sevides did in Gus Van Sant's "Last Days".įieldSells (a group admin) edited this topic ages ago. It features some of the most amazingly talented DPs and breaksdown each of their major films by how they achieved a certain look. Read "The New Cinematographers" by Alexander Ball. I agree with Christopher Doyle but its at a tie with Harris Sevides. his most recent films w/ Wong Kar Wai: In the Mood for Love, The Hand (from Eros) and 2046.Ĭan't pick a favorite, but I am most inspired by: If we're talking aesthetics exclusively, I'd have to go with the work of Christopher Doyle.
