CONVERSATIONS WITH JACK CARDIFF: Art, Light and Direction in Cinema - Softcover

Jack Cardiff was responsible for some of the most visually stunning films in cinematic history, including The Red Shoes, A Matter of Life of Death, Black Narcissus, Rope, The African Queen, Sons and Lovers, and Girl on a Motorcycle as well as commercially successful and cultish Conan the Destroyer. His work has been hugely influential, inspiring countless filmmakers including Martin Scorsese. This book is an insight into the visual art of cinema by one of its greatest exponents. Entertainingly and accessibly presented in Q and A sessions, it is written in a non-technical way (technical terms are sparingly used and fully explained). It is for all film enthusiasts, particularly those who enjoy or study the art of photography in film.

Author Justin Bowyer is a film journalist and author and has been working with Jack Cardiff for three years. Jack Cardiff has been norminated for several Oscars in his lifetime, and won in 1947 for Black Narcissus and was given The Honorary Life Time Award Oscar in 2001.
