With your music The Art of Cinematography is, not only didactic, not only a great cultural knowledge, not only an overview of epic images, not just a historical vision of the film and about the cinema itself, but it is a beautiful film. Along with images footage, your original soundtrack creates a new work of art. Thanks again for your creative, with esteem and affection,
Vittorio Storaro
Cinematographer
In “Italian Cinematographers’ Style“, Francesco Cara has composed a true symphonic poem, accompanying the images with elegance and irony, creating a perfect symbiosis between his music and the original soundtracks of the films, chosen to celebrate the style of Italian cinematographers.
Daniele Nannuzzi
Cinematographer
Your music is great! A tastefully crafted commentary on the various sections and characterized by the formal idea conferred by your original theme. Hence the character of a fun musical game, a “theme with variations” through the chronological times and styles suggested by the quotes from the film sequences. Bravo!
