Tossup

In one film, this cinematographer lined an actress up so that a strip of light falls on her left eye when she steps out from behind a door to greet David, a doctor with whom she’d previously had an affair. That scene is reminiscent of a number of interludes shot by this cinematographer in that film, which fade in and out to solid color and consist only of individual characters looking at the camera with (*) half of their faces lit. This cinematographer (10[1])filmed another shot with half of a woman’s face in the extreme foreground, while the background shows her husband kissing her nurse. This cinematographer won an Oscar for his use of a bright crimson color palette in Cries and Whispers and, in a different work, created a number of compositions that overlap the bodies and faces of Alma and Elisabet. For 10 points, name this cinematographer who shot Persona, one of his many collaborations with Ingmar Bergman. ■END■
