라즐로 코박스에게 편지 쓰기

Top-rank cinematographer who learned his craft at the Academy of Theater and Film Art in Budapest. Kovacs came to America shortly after the Soviet crackdown on his native land in 1956; he and fellow cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond, a school chum, shot thousands of feet of film during the October crisis and smuggled it out to the West, but by the time they screened the footage, the world media was uninterested. A series of menial jobs in upstate New York followed, and the two expatriates drove to Hollywood in 1958. Kovacs found work on no-budget cheapies such as The Time Travelers (1964, his first as camera operator) and Hell's Angels on Wheels (1967). His lensing of Easy Rider (1969) brought his work to the attention of the major studios. He was a favorite collaborator of director Peter Bogdanovich, for whom he shot What's Up, Doc? (1972), Paper Moon (1973), At Long Last Love (1975), and Nickelodeon (1976). Although never nominated for an Oscar, he's one of the most respected directors of photography in the business, having lensed such classics as Five Easy Pieces (1970) and elements of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). His malleable photographic style makes Kovacs a workable choice for any type of movie. His other films include Alex in Wonderland (1970), Shampoo (1975), New York, New York (1977), Inside Moves (1980), The Legend of the Lone Ranger (1981), Frances (1982), Ghostbusters (1984), Legal Eagles (1986), EB> (1989), and Deception (1993).
