Cinema’s magic is the running theme of this warm documentary about the life and works of visionary cinematographer Carlo Di Palma, whose working maxim was “la luce, la luce, la luce” (light, light, light). Di Palma collaborated with directors such as Michelangelo Antonioni and Woody Allen: his innovations in colour with Antonioni’s Red Desert and Blow-Up, set him apart as a genius of the medium. Director Fariborz Kamkari threads together stunning excerpts from the films with interviews. The result is a glorious celebration of a humanist and an engaged artist of uncommon talent.
Directed by Fariborz Kamkari, 2016.
