Produktbeschreibung
Robert Richardson undoubtedly ranks among the most revered cinematographers of the last four decades. He photographed some of the films of Oliver Stone, Martin Scorsese, Errol Morris, Antoine Fuqua, and Quentin Tarantino, to name a few. As of now, he has ten Academy Award nominations and has won three times. In the category of the most awarded cinematographer of all time, he symbolically competes with Roger Deakins, a fifteen-time nominee and two-time Academy Award winner. This book of interviews, conducted by the Czech cinematographer Jana Hojdova, offers a unique collection of insights. Richardson, after many years, speaks in great detail about his work. Hojdova possesses a deep understanding of both the technical aspects and the artistic contributions of the cinematography profession. Moreover, she delves into Richardson's personal nature which is deeply personal. Jana has earned his trust, allowing him to open up not only as a professional sharing many of the jewels of his craft but also a multitude of behind-the-scenes stories, but also on an emotional and intimate level. Interviews with Richardson about his films are complemented by discussions with directors, producers, actors, and other artists. They're also enriched with remarkable visuals from his films, behind-the-scenes photos, and Richardson's independent photographic work. This compilation showcases his artistry, vision, and personality in all their diverse manifestations. It paints a portrait of a dynamic artist who continually changes his style with each film, consistently infusing it with new elements and techniques, yet somehow he remains true to himself. In doing so, it demonstrates the extent of one's dedication to the world of cinema, for all of the positive and negatives of that decision.
