Raoul Coutard on The Confession
Share
You may not know his name, but Raoul Coutard is a crucial figure in modern cinema. A war photographer turned cinematographer, he was the camera man of choice for many directors of the French New Wave, shooting an astonishing array of classics from that period, including Breathless, Shoot the Piano Player, Lola, Jules and Jim, Vivre sa vie, Pierrot le fou, and many more. He also shot two great political dramas for Costa-Gavras, Z and The Confession, the latter of which is available this week for the first time on Blu-ray or DVD in the United States. When we interviewed Coutard in 2009 for our release of Z, he also talked a bit about his work on The Confession.
