Here’s my final selection of 10 for Cinema Candlelight…
Barry Lyndon [Stanley Kubrick, 1975]. According to the film’s DOP, John Alcott, some scenes were shot…’ Entirely by the candles. In the sequence were Lord Ludd and Barry are in the gaming room and he loses a large amount of money, the set was lit entirely by the candles, but I had metal reflectors made to mount above the two chandeliers, the main purpose being to keep the heat of the candles from damaging the ceiling. However, it also acted as a light reflector to provide an overall illumination of toplight.’ – John Alcott Q&A in American Cinematographer. Nominated by @tbflatley and @CVlattas.
