Cameraman: The Life And Work Of Jack Cardiff

A Matter of Life and Death. Black Narcissus. The Red Shoes. Under Capricorn. The African Queen. The Barefoot Contessa. Rambo: First Blood Part II. What do these films have in common? If you guessed that they were all photographed by the late, great Jack Cardiff, you’re correct. In the engaging and intimate documentary Cameraman: The Life and Work of Jack Cardiff, Scottish filmmaker Craig McCall spent 14 years with him as he discussed his multi-decade career, while he covered examples from his work in cinematography, still photography, and painting. Legendary actors and directors pay affectionate tribute to a man who is known today as one of the leading cinematographers of the Golden Age of American and British cinema.
