The Saint & the Hanged Man

Les Etats-Unis : superpuissance mondiale, terre de liberté, empire économique. Quels sont les événements qui ont contribué à écrire l’histoire de cette grande Nation ? Créée, produite et narrée par le réalisateur Oliver Stone, cette série documentaire dévoile l’histoire américaine de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale à nos jours comme elle ne nous a jamais été racontée : une oeuvre qui est le résultat d’un travail imposant de recherche et de documentation. L’histoire que les manuels nous racontent, relue et analysée avec des yeux différents, en se concentrant sur des événements notables, souvent négligés, et en remettant sur le devant de la scène des héros qui ont été oubliés.

Cameramen and women discuss the craft and art of cinematography and of the "DP" (the director of photography), illustrating their points with clips from 100 films, from Birth of a Nation to Do the Right Thing. Themes: the DP tells people where to look; changes in movies (the arrival of sound, color, and wide screens) required creative responses from DPs; and, these artisans constantly invent new equipment and try new things, with wonderful results. The narration takes us through the identifiable studio styles of the 30s, the emergence of noir, the New York look, and the impact of Europeans. Citizen Kane, The Conformist, and Gordon Willis get special attention.
