Wings of desire, if any of you is interested in Black and White

The colour parts aren't bad either. Henri Alekan was the cinematographer.

[Darin Boville]

Watch the New World a couple times then consider that there are 6 shots in the film that used electric lights.

I didn't know there were even that many! Do you really know which shots where lit with artificial lights? (He says, revealing his obsession....)

[Colin Graham]

For B&W, Carol Reed's The Third Man; Orson Welles' Touch of Evil and Othello and Magnificent Ambersons; Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory and the Killing, and anything by Fritz Lang. Color anything by Werner Herzog, especially Nosferatu and Fitzcarraldo, and Roman Polanski, especially the Tenant and Macbeth, and most David Lynch.

I have my theories. I know the number is 6 from an assistant that worked on it.
