Playback:stl - 8/10 by Sarah BoslaughCinematographer Style is more of a collage of well-chosen opinions and anecdotes about the art and practice of cinematography than a tutorial or overview of the profession.
User Review - 10/10 by Juan David CDespite the omission of important names such as Lubezki, Richardson, Ballhaus, Menges, Rousselot, Kaminski, Delbonnel and Dod Mantle; Cinematographer Style is by far the most informative and complete documentary ever made concerning the beautiful art and craft of composition, lighting, framing and movement in motion pictures.
User Review - 10/10 by Pete MIn the middle of watching this hour and a half long doc I knew I could watch it ten more times and get as much information as I was getting the first time around. If you're a filmmaker it's a must watch, if not a must own.
User Review - 8/10 by Nick MAs a cinematographer I found this film incredibly engaging and educational. It felt almost like getting the chance to sit down and talk with these cinematographic greats for an hour and a half. The film itself is beautiful as well.
User Review - 6/10 by Joe ANot what I expected, but it was good to listen to all these great cinematographer talk about their background and process. Would have preferred more hands on view though.
User Review - 6/10 by Nick PIf you love movies, and no doubt you do or you wouldn't be reading this, then Cinematographer Style will keep your inner squirrel digging for silver screen nuggets. I personally enjoyed some of the documentary's coverage of lighting techniques. I do have a gripe about the flick, one that I see mirrored in other reviews...director Jon Fauer interviews too many people. He conducts interviews with 110 cinematographers. If they all received equal time, that would amount to roughly 47 seconds per interview in an 86 minute documentary. As you might guess, having so many talking heads leaves no room for movie clip examples, and this film could have really used some movie clips.
User Review - 6/10 by Katie YI've seen this before but didn't enjoy it the first time. However I enjoyed it the second time around. I was able to better understand the language these cinematographers speak and get a feel for the work they love. A very interesting documentary.
User Review - 4/10 by Rainer KCinematographer Style starts of with an introduction of all the great people who participated in the project. From Remi Adefarasin to Vilmos Zsigmond, the who is who of the cinematographer world is shown in alphabetical order and everyone is allowed to say his name. Then, I waited for the film to begin, and I waited, but it never really happened. For about ninety minutes the film went on to show us short interview clips from these 100+ (!!!) masters of their art. Without ever letting one of them finish their thoughts or expand and dive into the material. It's mostly a down-edited disaster which collected short anecdotes about various cinematography-related topics and edited them together without much coherence. Even more astonishing, is the fact that the film never shows any of the film material they're talking about. I'd say that especially a film that tries to tell us what cinematography is all about should heavily rely on film examples or sequences to show the audiences what they're intending to say. Director/Cinematographer Jon Fauer, who is himself one of the interviewees, avoids that and presents us an endless number of snippets which aren't exactly what it'd talk to analyze the interesting topic in depth. Sure, it will certainly give you some new insights in the field of cinematography and certainly increased my knowledge about the subject matter but I learned considerable more about film when I actually worked on a film set (or during the four-hour car drive with the cinematographer afterwards). Cinematographer Style, just was too big in scope too succeed. I guess Fauer called all of his buddies to participate and was overwhelmed when all agreed. He did his best, but what came out at the end is nothing more than a boring mess. What could have been a fascinating examination of the craft/art is just a challenge for your attention span.
