L’Armée des ombres
Working with Jean-Pierre Melville was very trying experience almost every day, but it was an enriching experience and I now feel I have become a real director of photography. Taking part in the restoration of a film that is 35 years old was a really exciting project. To end up with a brand new film negative and a positive print fresh from the hands of my technician friends at Eclair gave me a real kick !
Re-discovering Jean-Pierre Melville’s powerful and refined cinematography was very moving for us as film-lovers !
I hope to hear more about this on October 3rd.
Filmed using Kodak film and processed by LTC in winter 1968-1969. Restored in winter 2004-2005 using Lustre and Kodak film.
