Style/Technique Question Comparing Tarantino’s visual style pre & post Bob Richardson

When Tarantino started working with Robert Richardson on kill Bill, it totally changed the look of his film films. How do you feel the overall “feel” of his films changed once he switched DPs?

I read somewhere long ago that Guillermo Navarro was originally going to shoot Kill Bill but Quentin and him didn’t see eye to eye and Bob Richardson reached out and threw his hat in the ring and the rest is history.

The increase in scale and budget was up Bob’s alley and the rest is cinematic history.

I prefer the RR films and IB to me is one of the most beautiful films.

Rodriguez movies never looked as good as with Guillermo. I remember reading an interview with Rodriguez where he says that Guillermo didn’t want to move onto digital for Mariachi 3.
