kyle burns: Laszlo Kovacs/Ingmar Bergman R.I.P

Laszlo Kovacs/Ingmar Bergman R.I.P

two amazing individuals who did wonders for film recently passed away. Laszlo who was the cinematographer for such films as Easy Rider, Paper Moon, Ghostbusters and Radio Flyer. Ingmar who is responsible for Wild Strawberries, one of my fave's, and The Seventh Seal among many others.

Last year at the Mendocino Film Festival i was fortunate enough to talk to Laszlo, and i asked him a couple questions about his fantastic work on Paper Moon which is shot in B&W, with tremendous deep focus cinematography. What a glorious Hungarian that man is.

I suggest watching a couple of each of their movies, it's the least you can do to appreciate the wonderful art they created.
