Love his aesthetic, HATE his films
Both shot by Benoît Debie who is a great DOP.
Hehe.. as I said.. love or hate
.. but yes, Debie is great.. I'm really curious about one of his latest projects.. "Spring Breakers" by Harmony Korine.. sounds like a love/hate film as well
And yes Tarsem's films look great.. there are really nice commentary tracks and interviews available with him where he talks about his love for (natural) tableaus... his indian upbringing and thus love for vivid colors etc etc.

That's exactly what I meant
And Christopher Doyle is to me one of the most sympathetic/accessible person working professionally in film. If only more of the arrogant folks around would be a little more down to earth (and a little crazy) like this guy.
I hope it's ok to link to youtube at least from here so... I think this is quite a fitting (in this context here/BMC ;o) statement/ramble by his:
Oh and I can only recommend to everyone interested in Doyle.. there's a German/French produced interview/doc/personality series called "Durch die Nacht mit" ("Into the Night with") which is really really nice, theres one epsiode featuring Christopher Doyle and Nonzee Nimibutr.. on a night out in Bangkok talking about their films, believes etc - really inspiring!
