Mmmh. Francois Truffaut filmed (ie directed) this in 1966 in England. It is generally regarded as a misfire of "wooden" performances, despite including stars such as Julie Christie, possibly because FT could not speak English very well. So why go to England to direct a film you may well ask?Originally Posted by Mike T
The cinematographer was Nicolas Roeg. A brilliant cameraman who filmed much good work eg Far From The Madding Crowd (John Schlesinger) and was the initial cameraman on Lawrence of Arabia until he fell out with director David Lean (not that you would know this from the film credits which only recognise Freddie Young).
But the good news was that Roeg went on to become a visionary British film director. He directed and photographed Walkabout and directed many films, all of which are interesting, such as The Man Who Fell To Earth and my personal favourite, the sublime Don't Look Now which is now regarded as one of the great British films.
And incidentally included Julie Christie.
