left me spellbound. That should have been on the list. Not to mention Bogdanovich's Targets; Altman's That Cold Day in the Park; Mazursky’s Alex in Wonderland and several more. He also worked with Malick, Mazursky and Hopper. What a story, what a legacy. RIP Laszlo.
James Chressanthis, who is working on the documentary "Laszlo & Vilmos" about Kovacs and his friend of five decades, fellow d.p. Vilmos Zsigmond, said that although Kovacs, a cancer survivor, had been feeling better lately, he was not able to make a Friday meeting with longtime associate Bob Rafelson. "Their lives intersected with so many great filmmakers," Chressanthis said of the two lensers.
"He was my soulmate, like a brother," said Zsigmond. "We escaped together, we worked together, we helped each other. He was a great cinematographer."
"Neither he or I believed in a specific style -- just very natural lighting, a kind of poetic realism," said Zsigmond.

There's a great profile on Kovacs on the Easy Rider DVD extras.
