Cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs has died . . .

His life was courageous and filled with adventure--he lived through World War II, the Nazi occupation of his country Hungary, and a Soviet takeover of Hungary--from which he fled, over the Austrian border, carrying film he shot of Hungarian resistance to the Soviets. http://www.cameraguild.com/magazine/stoo1298a.htm

No wonder his work on films like Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, New York, New York, The Last Waltz, and Mask was risk-taking and influential--the man took film seriously. Check out these films--all in our collection.
