Homage to Bode
Defying Categories: Ralf Bode (2015)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Filmmaker Michael Apted and video artist Peer Bode pay homage to cinematographer Ralf Bode in this twelve minute featurette that can be found on The Criterion Collection's DRESSED TO KILL. Apted talks about what made Bode so special in regards to what he was able to do with a camera. He talks about the films they made together including GORKY PARK and COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER. Bode also chimes in on the various techniques that he noticed from the cinematographer who died way too young. For the most part this is a well-produced piece, although I think it's a tad bit too dry at times. There are certainly some nice stories told and we get a good idea of what Bode tried to do but I think the featurette falls short of really paying him much respect.
