Academy Award Winners for Best Cinematography: 2004 — Russell Boyd, ACS, ASC Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) Directed by Peter Weir Aspect Ratio: 2.39 : 1

“Master and Commander — gee, that was a hard film to make. There is no easy film, of course, but Master was very demanding physically — because of the water, even though a lot of it was shot in the tank in Mexico that had been built for Titanic. Peter Weir once said to me — and I’ll never forget it — he said, ‘Come on and do a film of mine, and I’ll take you on an adventure.’ And he does!” — Russell Boyd for The American Society of Cinematographers, February 2018

Audiences love detective films. It's pleasant to watch a film knowing how it's going to end. In general, it's flattering to feel smarter than the authors. The people in the capital contend that this story took place in Moscow. Odessa residents insist that it was in their lovely city that it happened. Leningrad and Rostov-on-the-Don disagree. Seven cities contend over this, just as seven cities call themselves the birthplace of Homer. To tell you the truth, it's unknown where this story took place, and whether it took place at all. So, as you've noticed, it was a dark night. The anonymous man tried very hard to remain undetected, and at this he succeeded. It was so dark, quiet, and deserted, that one felt almost compelled to commit a crime. Береги́сь автомоби́ля (Beware of the Car) 1964 | dir. Eldar Ryazanov

There, boy, is Rome. The might, the majesty, the terror of Rome. There is the power that bestrides the known world like a colossus. No man can withstand Rome. No nation can withstand her. How much less... a boy? There's only one way to deal with Rome, Antoninus. SPARTACUS 1960 | dir. Stanley Kubrick
