Visions of Light: The Art of Cinematography
A fascinating tribute to the art of the cinematographer, from the silent era via the revolutionary deep focus of 'Citizen Kane' to some of the more extraordinary experiments of the modern era, whether its Italian Maestro Vittorio Storaro explaining the Eastern philosophy which dictated the colour coding of 'The Last Emperor' or the late Nestor Almendros explaining how he shot Terrence Malick's 'Days of Heaven' entirely during the 'magic hour' between sunset and nightfall.
