Jack Cardiff is the man. He directed Girl on a Motorcycle for god's sake. But more importantly than that, he was THE iconic cinematographer of the 20th century.
This documentary does a good job chronicling his incredibly influential career. The doc uses Scorsese as his main advocate, but many others weigh in on Cardiff's profound effect on the industry. It's surprising he didn't do more Hitchcock films because he seems to have had a Hitchcockian-eye for story-telling and drama. But anyway…
Production value is good on this one. The flick keeps you interested for the whole thing and I'd suggest watching it. Pay your respects.
