I love the look of this film and have been trying to hunt down interviews with the DP and indepth info on stock, lenses, lighting package, post color work...you know all the good stuff.

Anyone have any links or info they can share. I watched it again last night and just flat out love this film and it's look.

Requiem= One of the greatest films ever made, period.

Its number two on my list, right after Godfather 1/2 (Their 1 long movie to me) =)
 
TC you are smarter than I'll ever be, dude.

Thanks. But I need more now. Someone rustle up a nice juicy interview with talk about art direction in relationship to the lighting, lensing and camera moves.

oh...please, i mean.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was an interview with the DP in American Cinematographer. You can always try to do some backtracking to old issues from the period.

Beyond that Good luck.
 
Yeah, the DVD has great stuff.

I didn't see any AM CIN interview but maybe I missed it.

This si just a really great flick.

Have you seen "Pie" not the food, the symbol.
I know that most won't agree with me, but that one is my favorite.
 
AHHHHHHHHH! No one's mentioned the best spec of all: Matty Libatique. He's a great DP who's shot Pi an Requiem for Aronofsky and most recently "Inside Man" for Spike Lee. I think the cinematography in these movies, while certainly heavily stylized and not stuck to a traditional sensibility, is incredibly effective. While Libatique has had the pleasure of working with two directors who have both seemed to master the visual aspect of their craft, Libatique's own touch, along with the great lighting he always supplies, makes him someone that I believe will be around for a loooong time shooting great stuff the whole way. By the way, Requiem was covered in the Production Slate of AC magazine, I think the same issue as O Brother Where Art Thou (Roger Deakins, another great cinematographer) which if I remember correctly wasw October 2000. I'll double check that, but I do know that if that's the right issue the ASC, at least as of 2 or 3 months ago, still had back stock of that issue that you can order for 8 or 10 bucks.
Peace,
