THE FUSE

Among the various talking heads in “Robert Richardson: The White Devil” — a simultaneously awestruck and cheerfully confrontational documentary about the celebrated American cinematographer — are the three big dogs essential to any discussion of his work: Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino and Oliver Stone, who all speak affectionately and perceptively about his artistry, and their respective individual experiences of working with him. Yet perhaps the most quotable observation in Czech director Jana Hojdová’s film comes from Kate Hudson, star of Shekhar Kapur’s swashbuckler “The Four Feathers,” one of Richardson’s more forgotten assignments. “I’m sure you have to do a lot of psychedelics to see light the way he does,” she says — a joke that we learn is funny because it’s true.
