"There have been many great cinematographers who have become critically renowned and financially successful through their work. There have also been some greats who, for some reason or another, did not reach mainstream recognition. Among these is Robby Müller. This Dutch cinematographer was responsible for some of the most visually captivating cinematic imagery of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. While he was never nominated for a major award, his influence and reputation are notable among film-circles.
Known for his mastery of natural light, he found frequent collaborators in directors like Wim Wenders, Jim Jarmusch, and Lars von Trier. Keep in mind that the fact that he worked so frequently with these directors will be reflected on this list. Yet his filmography is extensive and varied. Having worked mostly in independent film, he was able to have more of a say in the creative execution of many of the films he worked on."
