You know I did't even think of Jarmusch however you're right.I saw Dead Man with Johnny Depp and the photography was superb.I am thinking more of images,more of film stills here.Ridley Scott I would think more of as a great cinematographer,master mise en scene;photographer maybe.I will probably be shot here for saying this but I think Hitchcock is a tad overrated.Sorry I wouldn't put him at the top of the cinematography list though I'm sure the scene setup back then was quite formidable.Best regards.
Follow Ups:
Make sure you check out Jarmusch's "Night on Earth" too. The urban moods captured are extremely evocative.Some good performances (Roberto Bernigni) and some shockingly amateurish ones (Winona Ryder), but the mood and atmosphere is perfect.
ok.I sure will.I didn't mention Fellini but alot of the images in 8 1/2 would qualify him wouldn't it?Especially the scene at the last of the movie with the women dressed in white gowns,the wind rustling through their hair and gowns.Most evocative.
