In A Man with a Camera, Nestor Almendros recalls his early days in Havana and emigration to Paris where he worked with François Truffaut and Eric Rohmer: He has photographed such highly acclaimed films as Sophie’s Choice, Kramer vs. Kramer, The Blue Lagoon and Days of Heaven for which he received an Academy Award. As he looks back and describes simply but comprehensively the specific techniques used in these and many other films, we are offered a unique look at how movies are made.
