The late Dutch cinematographer was responsible for perfecting a naturalistic shooting style that was notably utilized in the films of Wim Wenders, Jim Jarmusch, and Lars Von Trier. From the musical performances in Dancer in the Dark (pictured), the weird psychedelic west of Dead Man, and the urban wasteland of sci-fi punk cult classic Repo Man, Müller's work impeccably captured time, place, and personality.
Directed by Sidney Lumet
Psychological Thriller - Rated R - 103 Minutes - 1986
In this excellent thriller directed by Sidney Lumet, Alex Sternbergen (Jane Fonda), a washed-up, alcoholic actress who never quite made it, wakes up one morning in an unfamiliar, luxurious loft apartment, only to find the corpse of a stranger next to her in bed. Alex can remember nothing of the night before. In a panic, she hitches a ride with Turner Kendall (Jeff Bridges), who happens to be fixing his car in the airport parking lot, and the two set out to unravel the mystery.
