I think the best situations are really collaborative where youre...youre extending each other in a way. youre pushing each other to do better, to think in a different way. youre challenging each other, i think. but, for example, to be very literal about it, i mean, youre known as a guy whos brilliant using light on film and that — is that entirely your domain when it comes to making — the mechanics of making a movie? the mechanics, yes, but youre working with the whole team. you know, depend...

Why is that? i do think if the cinematography, the imagery or any other aspect of bringing that story to a screen is more noticeable or draws attention to itself — whether its a flamboyant camera move or some very kind of well—crafted arty lighting — i think its a mistake, you know? so you consciously are seeking to avoid that? i think sometimes i kind of draw back and say, "no, thats going to draw attention to itself," you know? let me ask you about one particular film where there was a h...

So even though the backgrounds had changed, in some very specific scenes, theres a lot of manipulation, like the, um, the, er, the threesome, with the two girls and ryan, you know, and theyre interchanging and becoming one and splitting. well, how are you going to do that? thats, obviously, you use the technology thats available to tell a story, in hopefully an interesting and, you know, perceptive way. but, um... so youre not, youre not anti—technology, clearly. no, not at all. yeah. i mean, ...

Not about that, just about life, you know, and the film and he was so pleased to be working on a film that actually felt meant something at that point in his life, because hed been doing a few films that he wasnt that proud of. and it was just really lovely to sit and talk with somebody of his reputation, but, you know, just a regular guy. the point about introversion or maybe self—effacement, with you seems to go even further, though, because you have always said, i think, about the way you m...

Ive worked with in films ive worked on, its not really been like that. and, often, where — often where an actor has a reputation, when theyve come to actually the set and the director that ive been working with, theyve acted in a different way. i tell you, one of the first films i did and one of probably my favourite films is 1984, the george orwell, and it wasjohn hurt and richard burton — it was richard burtons last film — and that was the moment not only i realised i was a cinematograph...

For the upcoming week. this week, were looking at temperatures in the low 20s for many of us, to next week, we are generally around the mid to high teens. a bit closer to the where it should be for the time of year but even a little below average. so, for sunday we start off on a dry note with variable cloud, some good spells of sunshine, chance of showers across the midlands and the southeast and otherwise most places dry and we see this cold front pushing in northern ireland and scotland bring...

Each other in a way. youre pushing each other to do better, to think in a different way. youre challenging each other, i think. but, for example, to be very literal about it, i mean, youre known as a guy whos brilliant using light on film and that — is that entirely your domain when it comes to making — the mechanics of making a movie? the mechanics, yes, but youre working with the whole team. you know, depending on the movie, you could have five or six electricians working with you and mayb...
