Leave your thoughts about Water and Sugar – Carlo Di Palma: The Colours of Life.
| Time OutTrevor JohnstonPut together with affection and intelligence, this documentary portrait of Italian cameraman Carlo Di Palma gives us a handle on what made him a great cinematographer. |
| Film Freak CentralBill ChambersWhat emerges is a portrait of a natural born shooter and an absolute savant for colour photography who warrants consideration as an auteur in his own right. |
| Cinema ScopeRobert KoehlerThere's no excuse making a poor film on the life and work of one of cinema's greatest cinematographers. |
| Little White LiesCourteney TanThis documentary will inspire you to invest in an decent camera. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabThis isn't exactly a critical portrait of its subject but it's an affectionate and informative one which highlights Di Palma's key creative role in the work of Antonioni and Woody Allen in particular. |
| Observer (UK)Wendy IdeWell intentioned and reverential but it feels like a tombstone for the oeuvre of a man whose photography was vividly, mercurially alive. |
