SayKomSa

[...] "History has made Vietnam one of my favourite places... The links that you establish with people and places very often seem totally unexpected. But it is not a question of chance. It is, among other things, a question of history, of a sequence of events, "that's how it is". Once that is admitted, you can spend a lot of time trying to understand why that is how it is." (Robert Kramer)

Visions of Light

Rated 7.0 on TMDB

Cameramen and women discuss the craft and art of cinematography and of the "DP" (the director of photography), illustrating their points with clips from 100 films, from Birth of a Nation to Do the Right Thing. Themes: the DP tells people where to look; changes in movies (the arrival of sound, color, and wide screens) required creative responses from DPs; and, these artisans constantly invent new equipment and try new things, with wonderful results. The narration takes us through the identifiable studio styles of the 30s, the emergence of noir, the New York look, and the impact of Europeans. Citizen Kane, The Conformist, and Gordon Willis get special attention.
