I had the pleasure of interviewing Vlimos Zsigmond following a screening of Robert Altman’s film, McCabe and Mrs. Miller. I had wanted to see this film for quite some time and seeing it at a festival with the cinematographer was a rare and wonderful gift. As I listened to the Q&A after the film, I could see why directors like Robert Altman’s, Woody Allen, and Steven Spielberg wanted to work with this man. He was patient, good natured, and a consummate artist. Zsigmond has been the cinematographer on such films as Deliverance, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Deer Hunter, Heaven’s Gate, Melinda and Melinda and more recently, The Black Dahlia. Listen as he discusses his experience watching McCabe again, what it was like to work with Robert Altman, and the cinematographers and films that inspire him as an artist.
