[Moritz Michal · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great reading for anyone interested in filmmaking, also if you’re not even interested in Darius.
There’s just a lot of information in here, easy to read.

Essential reading for those interested in making movies, or interested in Khondji's work. Inside this beautiful hardcover there's interviews with Darius on nearly every movie large or small that he's shot and he talks clearly about how and why he and the director arrived at their decisions, Darius's polaroids, behind-the-scene images, and interviews with Isabelle Huppert, Woody Allen, James Gray, and other co-workers, along with an afterward by Nicolas Refn. If every cinematographer could have a book such as this dedicated to their work, life would be a lot better.
