Even if you don’t recognize the name, chances are you’ve seen his work. Jack Cardiff is a Hollywood legend, a cameraman and director who created some of the most indelible images every caught on celluloid. Along with interviews with Cardiff, and testimony from the filmmakers who either worked with him or grew up watching his work before creating his own, the movie is filled with clips from the films he made, from the certifiable classics like The Red Shoes and The African Queen, to guilty pleasures like The Vikings and Rambo II. It’s both eye-opening and inspiring. Be sure to watch it with a pen and paper handy so you can start making a list of his movies to watch again and again.
