Notably with the way the Technicolor film print was used and there's a beauty to it that is lacking today in a lot of mainstream film photography. There's not much color to it and what I love about Cardiff's work is the fact that the look of grass, a face, the sky all look like paintings.<br /><br />While there's films that do try to make the art of cinematography do more than just light and set a tone for the film. There really isn't anything like what I've seen so far in the Powell-Pressburger films as I'm just eager to check out more of their work.
