This article is more than 20 years oldThe death of French cinematographer Jean-Yves Escoffier was finally confirmed late last night. Escoffier, who was 52, died in Los Angeles two weeks ago of a heart attack.
Renowned as one of one of the great artists of contemporary cinematography, Escoffier cut his teeth on Coline Serreau's 1985 movie 3 Hommes et un couffin (later remade as Three Men and a Baby) and went on to make three films with Leo Carax - Les Amants du Pont-Neuf, Mauvais Sang and Boy Meets Girl.
After moving to the US in the 1990s, Escoffier brought his painterly magic to projects as diverse as Harmony Korine's Gummo, Gus Van Sant's Good Will Hunting and Neil Labute's Possession and Nurse Betty. His last work was on Robert Benton's forthcoming adaptation of the Philip Roth novel The Human Stain, which stars Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman.
