(décapitation en vue):Si, par sa profession de directeur de la photographie, son nom restait moins identifié du public que celui des cinéastes stars du Nouvel Hollywood, Haskell Wexler ne fut pas moins l'une des figures majeures de l'élan moderniste qui parcourut le cinéma américain seventies. Un géant à la filmographie scandée autant de films importants que de nominations aux oscars - cinq en tout, pour deux statuettes remportées
[...]
«A quiconque voudrait se faire un nom dans ce milieu, je voudrais dire : ne vous intéressez pas seulement au cinéma. Intéressez-vous à la vie. Soyez une personne. Soyez en prise.»
One of the world’s most accomplished cinematographers, Haskell Wexler, who has died aged 93, was nominated five times for an Academy Award, and won for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) and Bound for Glory (1976). Wexler worked equally on mainstream and independent films, fiction and documentaries, monochrome and colour. Yet, rare in cinematographers, most of whom are hired hands, he created a relatively homogeneous filmography and never swerved from his radical convictions.[...]
The man who revolutionised the way movies were filmed also earned himself a 500-page FBI file, thanks to his involvement in agitation for social justice from unions to torture in Brazil
Even at 93, Haskell Wexler was the not the kind of person you ever expected just to die on you. Everything he did – and he did everything – suggested some kind of unstoppable life force.[...]
[...]
When he wasn’t revolutionising the technical aspects of Hollywood cinematography, such as inventing special rigs to imitate the close-to-the-ground bloodhound’s-eye-view in the chase sequences of In the Heat of the Night (1967), or taking the newly invented Steadicam for its inaugural walkies on Hal Ashby’s Bound for Glory (1976), he was giving his gifts to the revolution. Scratch that – revolutions, plural; there wasn’t a cause on the postwar left for which he didn’t pitch in, add his skills and offer his two cents.
[...]
Wexler had no doubts about who the senior artist was in most of the director/DP partnerships he entered – Haskell Wexler, of course – often feeling that the director just got in the way of his own picture. He could be condescending to anyone unwilling to indulge him. You might call that arrogant, if you hadn’t looked at his body of work beforehand.
[...]
He joins that special elect of cinematographers, living and dead, whose work, taken as a whole, constitutes a genre of its own: James Wong Howe, John Alton, Robby Müller, Emmanuel Lubezki. Wexler, the first cinematographer to win an Academy lifetime achievement award, ranked among the greatest of them all.
[...]
But he also knew what to do with faces, specifically Poitier’s. In his marvelous book Pictures at a Revolution: Five Movies and the Birth of the New Hollywood, Mark Harris explains that Wexler, unlike most of his colleagues at the time, knew that white skin and black skin demanded different approaches when it came to lighting. Wexler used low light throughout In the Heat of the Night, in part to make sure Poitier’s facial features would always read clearly. In other movies, Poitier had often been overlit in a way that sabotaged the subtlety of his expression. “Wexler and Jewison,” Harris writes, “made sure that every unspoken thought that played across his lips and eyes would read on camera and be visible to moviegoers.” And that, maybe, is the most delicate facet of the cinematographer’s art: To make sure that even abstractions we can’t see, like thoughts and feelings, are always clearly visible. Wexler could do it all.
