i remember also seeing thin red line at the cinema, and quite enjoying it, but the flashback scenes were really poor.
have you seen days of heaven? that's quite good at the beginning and very end, but has this really portentious boring bit in the middle. fampusly very good cinematography, nestor almendros i think. he shot at golden hour only, so it's very lush and bright. but richard gere is such a bag of shit actor.
What's your definition of cinematography?
cos it does the job of engrossing you in the film in a way that means you are not bothered about how it looks, you suspend all your disbelief and get carried awayHow would you know it's good if you don't notice though? It's one of those words I'm suspicious of.
I tend to think that too.... but the cinematography is or can/should be important. It's just not the get out of jail free card that some think it is.Sort of like if someone praises the sound design of a piece of music I know for a fact it's a bad piece of music
