Tom Luddy, "Irreplaceable" Mentor & "Spirit Of The International Film Community," Celebrated At NYC Tribute The uncredited cinematography, much of it in slow-motion, is uniformly magnificent, as the serenely floating cameras capture the liquid’s textures, speed, dangers, unpredictability and exciting beauty, revealing perspectives that you’d never see in real life.
