Michael Apted (Interview‪)‬

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] In 1979 Michael Apted, a 27 year old prodigy out of Cambridge, directed Agatha, a fictional explanation of eleven days in 1926 when mystery novelist Agatha Christie inexplicably disappeared to great national alarm. Along with the wonderful performances by Vanessa Redgrave and Dustin Hoffman, Vittorio Storaro's cinematography for Agatha was what two-time Academy Award winner Haskell Wexler considered, "the pinnacle of what can be achieved in our profession with light."
