Michael Ballhaus, the cameramen for such Scorsese classics as "The Departed" and "Goodfellas" has retired and moved back to his native Germany. Which of the movies he shot for Scorsese do you like the most?


In an interview, after his retirement, ace cinematographer Michael Ballhaus spills all on Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis ("he acts as if there is audience that surrounds him from all 360 degrees. He has no clue where the camera is"), Robert DeNiro ("In each take he surprises everyone with his acting. We were grateful for him actually staying in the room") and tells of the tension between Scorsese and Jack Nicholson on the set of the Oscar winning "The Departed" ("Nicholson took the reins, and had changes made in the script, practically rewriting it. The other actors rebelled against this").
