 Zhang Yimou, Christopher Doyle, Jet Li and Zhang Ziyi on Hero
Christopher Doyle: A lot of people disregard the fact that American films look like they do because they are made by Americans.

 Telegraph | Entertainment | Film-makers on film: Christopher Doyle
Before he shot his first film in 1983, Christopher Doyle was a sailor on a Norwegian ship, an oil driller in India, a cow herder in Israel, and a doctor of Chinese medicine in Thailand - or so legend has it.
Doyle is also a noted stills photographer, has directed a film (the enigmatic mood piece called Away With Words), and is an epic traveller, drinker and bon viveur.
Doyle has just completed The White Countess, set in 1930s Shanghai, for James Ivory and Ismail Merchant, the quintessential exponents of traditional, literary cinema.

As there is precious little written about Christopher Doyle, when I had an opportunity to speak to two actors in the film (Ben Foster and Rebekah Johnson -- who play a young and handsome interracial couple), I asked them what they thought of Doyle.

 Guardian Unlimited Film | Interviews | 'If you call me, you know what you're in for'
Considering he spends most of his time behind the camera, Chris Doyle is a conspicuous man. He's one of the few cinematographers who has become a name in his own right, to the extent that he's better known than many of the directors he works with.
Doyle is perpetually in demand, but he's no gun for hire; he'll only work for people he considers friends.
Doyle dismisses the idea: "He's the bravest director and producer in the world," he says of Wong, who customarily works without scripts or schedules.

Doyle is an auteur for the 21st century, one of the few cinematographers in the history of the movies who is better known than many of the directors he works with.
Doyle shot cult films Chungking Express and In the Mood for Love; he can build a story full of mystery, drama or suffocated emotion out of a handful of images, while his still photos are collected by art lovers and fashionistas the world over.

 Away with Words (1999)
Doyle's way of handling sources of light is often off-putting for many people, because he uses the camera as his eye.
As he himself often points out, Doyle is not your average gweilo, but rather a "Chinese with skin disease." The Australian has clearly found his home in the SAR, but there's always nostalgia in his eyes of his home, his family, and things he had to let go because of his choices.
She represents Doyle's closest friends and collaborators (assistant and friend Kiyomi Ono could be the inspiration for her character) who help him deal with his way of life.

 village voice > film > by Dennis Lim
It's actually an otherwise empty hotel bar on a Sunday morning, but Doyle, in town for the Tribeca Film Festival, intends to continue where he left off a few hours earlier—at a "Harlem speakeasy," as he puts it, with an entourage that included the Chinese director Tian Zhuangzhuang (Springtime in a Small Town).
An Australian-born former sailor (with the Norwegian merchant marine), snake oil peddler (in Thailand), and theater troupe founder (in Taiwan), Doyle is best known for his collaborations with Wong Kar-wai, with whom he essentially invented the dominant vernacular of pan-Asian pop.
The plan this morning is to discuss Doyle's two August movies—the languid minor-key ballad Last Life in the Universe, by Thai director (and Pratt alum) Pen-ek Ratanaruang, who's sitting in with us, and Zhang Yimou's prismatic, intensely pictorial martial-arts reverie Hero—but the interviewee is having a hard time concentrating.

 Box Office Prophets: Christopher Doyle
In his first foray here, Doyle delivered the color photography that is one of the few reasons to see the recent and unnecessary Psycho remake, and then followed this with cinematography on Barry Levinson’s Liberty Heights.
But what is nearly always most striking about Doyle’s camerawork is the suffusion of color that he brings to a scene; there’s a visual saturation of hues given that seems to glow with its own inner light.
The films that Christopher Doyle shot in Asia for Wong Kar-Wai and others over the course of the last 20 years have helped to define onscreen a particular style that has now come to both reflect and represent an emerging modern sensibility in that part of the world.

 CNN.com - Christopher Doyle - Mar 24, 2006
Doyle's style may be unorthodox but it is one that has helped him break out of the Asian cinema scene in which he launched his career and become a major influence on the international mainstream.
Renowned for his extreme camera work and use of filters and saturated colors, Doyle has been creating richly atmospheric visual worlds since shooting "That Day on the Beach" in 1981 in Taiwan.
After a spell in France, Doyle returned to Asia to work in Hong Kong, teaming up with Hong Kong auteur Wong Kar-Wai in 1991 to make "Days of Being Wild" -- a perfect marriage between Doyle's experimental, improvisational style and Wong's loose scripts and sparse direction.

 TIMEasia.com: Arts -- Travels With a Camera
For the rest of the film, Christopher Doyle's camera never stops moving; cowering in darkness at the mission the young girls are taken to, then feeling its way like braille across 2,000 sun-scorched kilometers, to a ring of purple hills: home.
Doyle went on to collaborate with the giants of Asian cinema, Chen Kaige (Temptress Moon) and more recently Zhang Yimou (Hero), but it is with Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai that Doyle made his mark—and look: hand-held, jump-cut and radically chic.
It's a strength of vision that Doyle puts down partly to Australia's clarity of light—"because the relationship between our living spaces and the environment is so direct, and because our internal life has to be replenished by something," he says.
