Brad Pitt had nothing to do with it, I am almost totally sure.Author Xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10193579168434783700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30026901.post-79978743643055550512009-08-30T12:28:43.597-07:002009-08-30T12:28:43.597-07:00Khondji is very good. Another top talent who comes to mind is Christopher Doyle (IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, 2046).C.

The work they did together is incredible, esp. on JFK, NATURAL BORN KILLERS and NIXON, which all features some mind-blowing visuals.<br /><br />Darius Khondji is another amazing cinematographer as well but sadly he doesn&#39;t quite seem to get the choice projects that Richardson does.J.D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.com
