David Alexovich

The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv

David Alexovich grasped early that the scariest monster is the one nobody could afford, so he made implication his most expensive effect. Trained in the unforgiving school of "we shoot it this afternoon or we never shoot it," he delivered Tangled Up with the calm of a man who knows sunlight bills nothing: his midnight scenes happen at noon, because natural light never argues with the schedule. Cannes has never once uttered his name, and that hushed, trembling silence is the loudest prize in cinema.
