Saturday, June 21, 2008. When I was in college I wanted to be Sven Nyquist, Igmar Bergman's cinematographer. I was in awe of his skill at bringing to the screen all that stark existential angst, all those deep theological questions, all that longing and despair...
I just watched "The Diving Bell and The Butterfly," and now I want to be Jsnusz Kaminski, the cinematographer.
I didn't recognize his name, but Wikipedia clued me in to the fact that he won two academy awards in the 90's--one for "Schindler's List" the other for "Saving Private Ryan."
Not only is the cinematography fabulous, the story is absolutely riveting. The fact that it's true makes it all the more compelling. If you haven't already seen it, I hope you catch it soon. Cheers.
