Re: VISIONS OF LIGHT tourney!


Citizen Kane advances to the final round without breaking a sweat but awaits a heavyweight bout against a 65mm behemoth

Conformist and 2001 advance

FINAL FOUR




ROUND 5, MATCH 2
2001: A Space Odyssey ----------------------------- vs ----------------------------- Lawrence of Arabia
DP Geoffrey Unsworth --------------------------------------------- DP Freddy Young



equally good would be shots comparing these two films famous sunrises, but I love this comparison top to bottom and side by side, see my soon to be updated sig.

LAWRENCE OF ARABIA

2001: A Space Odyssey is genius, but by about halfway through the film I always resign myself to the fact that the lighting in those damned spaceships is never, ever going to change. It's a very close match, though.

Lawrence gets my vote because it covers a lot of ground, photographically, and never seems to strain for lighting ideas.

In terms of motion and composition, both films are perfection and I couldn't choose between them. Lighting is what tips the scales.
