Um extraordinário director de fotografia, com um bom gosto superlativo, quer a P/B quer com filmes a cores, cuja carreira é indissociável das magníficas produções da dupla Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger, de que (1947) é exemplo maior. Mas fez mais, muito mais.

The career of celebrated cinematographer and director Jack Cardiff spanned nine decades and includes film classics such as The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus and Girl on a Motorcycle. Jack received many accolades, including an OBE, two Oscars® and a BAFTA Special Award, and the bfi undertook its own celebration of an outstanding film career in 2001, with an exhibition of stills, posters and designs chosen by him from bfi collections. A selection of these images can be seen here in the 'Image Gallery', accompanied by anecdotes from Jack Cardiff explaining their relevance to his life and work. (*)
