The long voyage home has one of the longest sequence of shots in Visions of Light, The Conformist has a comparable amount of screentime, but few of the films have as much as those two.
Ambersons has one brief scene at christmas and another even briefer shot they come back to later in the documentary.
ROUND 1, MATCH 10 Shanghai Express ----------------------------- vs ----------------------------- Rosemary's Baby DP Lee Garmes --------------------------------------------- DP Willem Fraker
abstain again. I know Rosemary has great cinematography. I'm guessing based on other Von Sternberg films and its appearance in Visions that Shanghai Express does as well. Not having seen the latter, I can't compare the films.
ROUND 1, MATCH 11 The Sea Hawk ----------------------------- vs ----------------------------- Sunset Blvd DP Sol Polito --------------------------------------------- DP John Sietz
This is probably the first tourney where I don’t really care much which film wins in any match, as the cinematography in all of them is just so brilliant. This match and the last two outstanding examples.
