Maestro of cinematography Jack Cardiff, the man who -- among many masterpieces -- illuminated Black Narcissus and The Life and Death Of Colonel Blimp and A Matter Of Life And Death and -- of course, because this is a classical music blog -- The Red Shoes, has passed away at the age of 94.
The best way to remember this great man, this genius of Technicolor (who later in his career became a director), is, simply, to watch once again, in awe, the stunning perfection of the work he did in The Red Shoes.
