William
Lubtchansky, 1937-2010
The great cinematographer William Lubtchansky has passed away at the
age of 72. He has had a long and fertile career working with Godard,
Rivette, Straub/Huillet, Garrel, Varda, Otar Iosseliani, and countless
others. In particular, Lubtchansky worked on multiple films for Godard
and Rivette, including some of the former's most radical, adventurous
work. Lubtchansky was the cinematographer for many of Godard's late 70s
forays into video, and for the elegant 1990 masterpiece Nouvelle
vague. He collaborated with Rivette over the course of several
decades, shooting many of the great director's most enduring works,
including almost all the films Rivette has made in recent years.
Below
is a small tribute to some of the images left behind by this remarkable
cinematographer, all from his work with Godard and Rivette, the two
directors most closely associated (in my mind, anyway) with this genius
behind the camera. Admire, especially, the muted but somehow eerily
beautiful quality of light in these images, which are never flashy or
glossy but always striking in more subtle ways.
