The legendary cinematographer praises the way Néstor Almendros captured light in DAYS OF HEAVEN, talks about his experience working with Elaine May on MIKEY AND NICKY, and shares what makes NO BEARS such an engrossing film.
Six of the films he shot are featured in the Criterion Collection–David Lynch’s ERASERHEAD, BLUE VELVET, and WILD AT HEART; Ang Lee’s RIDE WITH THE DEVIL and THE ICE STORM; and Jim Jarmusch’s NIGHT ON EARTH–as are John Cassavetes’s OPENING NIGHT and THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE, on which he served as camera operator.
