Yes! I would also add Robby Muller (Paris, Texas, Down by Law) and Vilmos Zsigmond (McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Close Encounters of the Third Kind ) to the list, both of whom were also photographers and in love with light. https://youtu.be/YT-HdsSC9i8?si=_A2Ay8AcCuaQZWLC https://youtu.be/wXgBFGy6uNs?si=naWFm_CEmMk97l6h

Love this post — concept and content! Would add In the Mood for Love (2000) with cinematographers Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping Bin — the latter replacing the former late in the filming due to scheduling issues. Almost every frame is a breathtaking portrait of the characters involved.

What? No Kubrick? I always said there wasn't a frame in Barry Lyndon not worthy of framing and putting on a wall.
