In Czech director Jana Hojdová’s raw, brazenly honest documentary, “Robert Richardson: The White Devil,” the legendary director of photography finds himself in a curious position. After decades capturing a plethora of towering films: “Platoon,” “Born on the Fourth of July,” “A Few Good Men,” “Casino,” “Kill Bill: Volume I & II,” “Shutter Island,” “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,” and many more—the three-time Academy Award winner finds himself in front of the camera. In “Robert Richardson: The White Devil,” which, after six years of filming, had its world premiere at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, the cinematographer forms an unlikely friendship with Hojdová that begins when the Czech filmmaker emails him to request an interview for her Master’s thesis. What started out as a simple project soon evolved into a personal excavation of the filmmaker that involved searching through his personal archive of home movies, storyboards, scripts, and journals.The result, partly born from Hojdová and Richardson hunkering down during COVID, when a lockdown kept the filmmaker from returning to her country, is a truthful summation of an artist, a father, and a spouse—one that features words from his long-time collaborators Oliver Stone, Martin Scorsese, and Quentin Tarantino, to show the heavy toll achieving cinematic greatness can often exact. The above is the introduction I wrote for my interview with Robert Richardson. You can read our discussion via RogerEbert.
