[Konvas] Haskell Wexler RIP

[Steven Lyle]

Right you are. Watched Michael Caine movie (1969)about mission to blow up oil dump in Africa.Very long takes, panoramas. Long attention span required.
Watched James Cagney movie (early 1960s) aboutGuadalcanal. Very long scenes, hardly any camera movement.
Best,Steven

 Sad news.  "In the heat of the night"  is one of my favourites and of Ofcourse "Cuckoo Nest" too. That nurse still haunts me to this day and the Indian chief's first spoken words knocked me over.

Today's cinematographer's do not seem to have the flair or the system they work under will not allow them to shine!  They now rely on the editor and digital toys to make images come alive.

Isn't it funny, films have more longevity than humans!
