A bit boring
I love movies, and I have enjoyed some documentaries about subjects I wouldn't have thought I'd enjoy, but I found this docu about cinematography a bit boring.
Interesting documentary
This documentary is not only for people who are especially interested in photography, but to everyone who's interested in cinema, and cinema's history. It's a well made documentary about a legendary cinematography.
Likely to see
Not for me
