Of his work on Éric Rohmer's PERCEVAL, cinematographer Néstor Almendros writes: “There was not a glimmer of natural light, and everything had to be reconstructed, or rather invented… [Rohmer] preferred lighting without shadows: in medieval miniatures there are only colors and shapes, and medieval artists were unaware of the notion of light, volume and perspective.” Plays Saturday and Monday at Metrograph. | Metrograph

Cinema 2 See on Instagram: "The cinematographer of “Days of Heaven” Néstor Almendros, was slowly going blind while shooting the film. But instead of holding back, he used natural light (especially the soft, golden glow just after sunset) to make every scene look like a painting. The director, Terrence Malick, loved real light so much that they often filmed only during those few perfect minutes each day. Even with failing eyesight, Almendros created some of the most beautiful images ever put on f

Mr. MT on Instagram: "Néstor Almendros, the Oscar-winning cinematographer of Days of Heaven, was slowly going blind due to a condition called retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative disease that narrows vision over time and impairs night sight. Despite this, he created some of the most breathtaking imagery in film history. Using mostly natural light and shooting during the brief “magic hour,” Almendros turned limitation into poetry. His fading eyesight didn't stop him from capturing visuals that st
