“A tawdry downtown Magic Club – all unholy reds and phosphorescent greens – where Madonna and Rosanna Arquette finally meet: ‘Nice work, stranger.’ Or the slow nocturnal crawl of backseat shadows crossing the face of drugdealer Willem Dafoe, out on a run. Or an avenging Terence Stamp fractured between opal LA twilight and lamplit-caramel motel nights. These images, from the first films I remember shot by Ed Lachman, still stain my memory. And the vow I made to myself that someday maybe I too could join forces with this sorcerer of light and alchemist of color.” (Todd Haynes)
