Water and Sugar: Carlo Di Palma (region-1 DVD)

Fariborz Kamkari’s documentary about the life and career of Carlo Di Palma is as much
a portrait of the late cinematographer—known for his inventive work with such directors
as Woody Allen, Michelangelo Antonioni and Elio Petri—as it is a journey through the
last 70 years of world cinema. From Di Palma’s early credits under Luchino Visconti,
Vittorio De Sica, and Roberto Rossellini, to his trailblazing work on Red Desert and
Blow-Up, to his 11-year collaboration with Woody Allen, Water and Sugar amounts to an
illuminating celebration of a great artist. Featuring reflections and commentary by iconic
filmmakers including Woody Allen, Bernardo Bertolucci, Ken Loach, Volker Schlöndorff,
Wim Wenders, and more.
