The cinematographers interviewed include Allen Daviau, Caleb Deschanel, Haskell Wexler, JohnBailey, and the late Nestor Almendros (to whom the film is dedicated).
The belated film version, directed by JohnBailey, adds some distracting visual effects, but it mostly does justice to the extraordinary talents of these women.
The cinematographer JohnBailey is shooting a portrait of Werner Herzog, the soulful, disaster-prone German director, at the same time that Herzog and Zak Penn, a crass American screenwriter-producer, go off to Loch Ness to make a film about our spiritual need for monsters.
