Harry Savides – 1957-2012

Acclaimed cinematographer Harris Savides passed away earlier this week.

Mr Savides lensed many terrific films throughout his career, including Gus van Sant’s Finding Forrester, Milk, and Restless, David Fincher’s Zodiac and The Game, Ridley Scott’s American Gangster, Sophia Coppola’s Somewhere and even John Turturro’s Illuminata. He also worked as a DP on many music videos, including Nine Inch Nail’s Closer, Madonna’s Rain, and Michael Jackson’s Scream.

Mr Savides passed away on October 9th, aged just 55. We tip our hat to him today.

Rodney Twelftree

“Some people say I like films. Those people are wrong. I *love* films.” – Me. I said this.

Rodney has been writing about films for well over two decades, appreciates a good wine, the love of his wife and kids, and the affection of his dog and cats. He has a fondness of cheesy 90’s action and classic Hollywood, hates that physical media is disappearing, and wishes somebody would make a high-budget series of The Neverending Story.

  1. Good work Rodney – I wouldn't have picked up on this, and sometimes I am guilty of heavy duty newspaper scans.

    Zodiac was such a beautifully shot film – an outstanding exercise in digital cinematography. American Gangster also looked great – interestingly, all of Ridley's films look kinda similar, which suggests he picks DOPs who are on his wavelength.

    Obviously Mr Savides was a collaborative artist of the first order.
