Summary

Hojdová Chronicles Richardson

Jana Hojdová directs a new documentary about United States cinematographer Robert Richardson.
The film uses Richardson’s diaries, a Covid interview, 4K footage of his mother’s death-bed removal, and interviews with directors Oliver Stone, Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino.
It recounts a fallout with Oliver Stone after Richardson joined Martin Scorsese, a Kill Bill dispute with Quentin Tarantino, their later reconciliation, which reviewers say cannot show the “macho head-butting quarrels.”
