Cameramen and women discuss the craft and art of cinematography and of the "DP" (the director of photography), illustrating their points with clips from 100 films, from Birth of a Nation to Do the Right Thing. Themes: the DP tells people where to look; changes in movies (the arrival of sound, color, and wide screens) required creative responses from DPs; and, these artisans constantly invent new equipment and try new things, with wonderful results. The narration takes us through the identifiable studio styles of the 30s, the emergence of noir, the New York look, and the impact of Europeans. Citizen Kane, The Conformist, and Gordon Willis get special attention.

Saint-Tropez, été 1967. Deux jeunes hommes se retirent un mois – sans leurs compagnes – dans la propriété prêtée par un ami commun, isolée en bord de mer. Une inconnue, invitée également, finit par occuper l'essentiel de leurs pensées, les troublant autant par sa beauté que par son indépendance et sortant en ville chaque soir avec un nouvel inconnu. Chacun cherche à la dominer à sa manière, sous un détachement feint, par des jugements prétentieux et définitifs sur la vanité de son attitude…
