5.0 out of 5 stars Cinematography at its best!!!!, October 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A man with a camera (Hardcover)
Nestor Almendros is brilliant in describing his every techniquein regards to achieving the magic like visuals of his films. A greatbook for the film student or the film lover. Alemendros gives interesting insight into the political reasons that took him out of the Island and into the world of exile and Truffaut. But still I'm unable to get a copy of the book!!!!!! One last word.... ViVa Cuba Libre y el buen cine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Artistry in Film, September 2, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A man with a camera (Hardcover)
This is a great book. Almendros makes clear his process for his cinematography as well as his experience in European and American (and Cuban) film making. There's an art to film making. It's not a matter if simply recording someone with a camera you bought from Best Buy. There are few people who have the talent for the different film disciplines and Almendros was one of them.
