Topic: Peter Suschitzky


  
  Peter Suschitzky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Suschitzky (born July 25, 1941) is a Polish-British cinematographer, born in Warsaw the son of fellow cinematographer Wolfgang Suschitzky.
He is known primarily as the director of photography on Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and the later works of David Cronenberg, which the director had mostly departed from his horror-film days into more sedate works of literary adaptation.
Suschitzky's work is near universally regarded as among the best cinematography in the world, praised for its sculptorly lighting, vibrant color coordination and rich camerawork.

Suschitzky began working in documentaries and commercials before entering features in the mid 1960s with "It Happened Here" (1966).
Suschitzky began a fruitful association with horror maestro David Cronenberg shooting the unnerving psychological (and gynecological) character study "Dead Ringers", wherein he artfully conveyed the twin terrors of sterile surgical rooms and profoundly messy minds and lives.
In the former, Suschitzky made the psychic delirium of heat and drugs in novel visually palpable.

The movie is content to pay homage to the novel; Cronenberg's screenplay is an attempt to imagine where this bizarre, unaccountable work of genius might have come from, to get inside the mind of a writer caught in the unnatural act of making literature.
The hero is a gaunt, ghostly-looking junkie called William Lee (Peter Weller)-a name Burroughs often used to designate his fictional alter ego.
Bill is an ex-junkie, and is thrown back into drug addiction once he finds out that his wife is addicted to the bug powder that he uses on the job.

 AMCTV.com SHOW - Naked Lunch
Director David Cronenberg's surreal film fuses elements of Beat writer William S. Burroughs' novel of the same name with snippets of the writer's biography to form an unsettled and unsettling whole.
Burroughs surrogate Bill Lee (Peter Weller) is a wannabe writer who works as an exterminator to pay the bills.
His wife, Joan (Judy Davis), becomes addicted to his bug-killing dust; the couple are quickly caught up in the pursuit of unorthodox hallucinogens, and before long, giant beetles (very effectively contrived via special effects) are whipping up Bill's paranoia while his friends are sleeping with Joan.

Many of the crew members - such as director of photography Peter Suschitzky, production designer Carol Spier and costume designer Denise Cronenberg (the director’s sister) - are regular Cronenberg collaborators.
But it was the first time he had worked with either Ed Harris - who plays Fogarty, a mid-level Philadelphia hood - or William Hurt, who plays Richie Cusack, a cornerstone of the Philly mob (the ethnicity has been changed from the Italian of the original story to avoid Mafia associations).

This cinematic/literary hybrid fuses motifs from Beat writer William S. Burroughs's novel of the same name with elements of the author's biography and plenty of the cerebral alienation and biomorphic special effects fans of creepy cult director David Cronenberg have come to expect.
Bill Lee (Peter Weller) wants to write, but he exterminates bugs to pay the bills.
Soon, monstrous beetles are whispering conspiracy theories in Bill's ears and his nebbish writer friends Hank (Nicholas Campbell) and Martin (Michael Zelniker) are sleeping with Joan under his nose.

Characters like Vaughn, the charismatic group leader who stages recreations of celebrity car crashes, seem more like driven researchers than sexual renegades, which is undoubtedly part of the film's point.
This impression is reinforced by the pristine cinematography by Peter Suschitzsky, which proves particularly haunting during a crucial accident scene, and Howard Shore's superb score.
Far from exploitative, Crash in fact proves less transgressive than the original novel, but is still undoubtedly not for all tastes.

 Rolling Stone : Shopgirl : Review
That's intuitive filmmaking, and director Anand Tucker (Hilary and Jackie) deserves credit for letting us catch Mirabelle in and out of Ray's pumpkin shell.
If Ray's world seems hermetically sealed -- Peter Suschitzky's cinematography is cannily sleek -- that's because it's the source of his comfort and his sorrow.
Even the film's missteps (the score, by Barrington Pheloung, is cringe-inducing) can't stop this meditation on love -- Martin calls it "Jane Austen for the twenty-first century" -- from melting into heartbreak.
