Recently, the director of Barry Sonnenfeld, known as the director of the three first films from the franchise "People in Black", released the book of memoirs called "Barry Zonnenfeld, call his mother: Memoirs of a neurotic filmmaker." One of the chapters of this book, Zonnenfeld devoted the earliest stage of his career, when immediately at the end of the film school he had a chance to work as an operator on the filming of pornographic films. To the question of The Hollywood Reporter about what he taught him this experience, the director answered:
I learned from this lesson that to release films in Smell-O-Vision format is a big danger, because if someone has a smell of porn, then it will destroy the entire porn industry.
It is worth explaining that Smell-O-Vision is a special system, with which in some cinemas, what is happening on the screen is accompanied by appropriate odors. However, such a response of Znennefeld is more likely to be regarded as comic, but after this, the director has already seriously told that he decided to take pictures for adult movies, he decided to repeat money spent on the purchase of a professional chamber, and partly because in this The sphere was demand for operators.
Soon after, Zonnenfeld was invited to become the operator-director of the documentary film "In our water" (1982). He then switched to the playing cinema, performing the operator of such famous paintings as "just blood", "raising Arizona", "Big" and "When Harry met Sally." As a director, he made his debut in the early 1990s, removing the "Family of Addams" and "The Values of the Addames Family".
