Visions of Light

Visions of Light: The Art of Cinematography (1993); documentary. Cinematographers discuss the art of shooting film for motion pictures, and many films are sampled to show examples of different kinds of cinematography. This is a tantalizing movie, because it shows so many brief clips from so many great films, and I wanted to see all the films discussed. Visions of Light got me all jazzed again about motion pictures, and I found it tremendously stimulating. On the other hand, it's a bare-bones production, with no Extras, and no subtitles or closed captions. I'd like to see a movie like this done really well, with more and longer clips from even more great films. Grade: B+
