Mourning Eduardo Serra

Legendary Portuguese Cinematographer Passes Away at the Age of 81

portrait of cinematographer Eduardo Serra — Eduardo Serra

Born in Lisbon in 1943, Eduardo Serra was a Portuguese cinematographer.

Having first studied engineering at the University of Lisbon, he had to re-locate to Paris where he studied Camera at the film school Louis Lumière and Archeology and Art History at the Sorbonne.

After some work as camera assistant for Ariane Mnouchkine and Patrice Leconte, his breakthrough came in 1991 with THE HAIRDRESSER’S HUSBAND by Patrice Leconte for which Serra was nominated for the French César Award. The two continued working together on 1993 TANGO MORTALE (1993), YVONNE’S PERFUME (1994), WIDOW OF ST. PIERRE (2000) and INTIMATE STRANGERS (2004).

Another long-term collaboration connected him to Claude Chabrol with whom he filmed THE SWINDLE (1997), THE COLOUR OF LIES (1999), THE FLOWER OF EVIL (2003), THE BRIDESMAID (2004) and THE COMEDY OF POWER (2006).

Eduardo Serra was most known for his period dramas, among them JUDE by Michael Winterbottom (1996) for which he received the Golden Frog at the Polish camera festival Camerimage, THE WINGS OF THE DOVE by Iain Softley (1998) for which he received a BAFTA and an Oscar nomination, and, of course, THE GIRL WITH THE PEARL EARRING by Peter Webber (2003) which had its European premiere in San Sebastian where it won the festival’s Cinematography Award. Unforgettable for its impressive depiction of the times of Jan Vermeer, the film continued to be nominated for a BAFTA and an Oscar, and won European Cinematographer at the European Film Awards 2004.

In 2014, Eduardo Serra received the honorary award at the Portuguese Film Academy’s Sophia Awards.

Eduardo Serra died on 19 August. We will miss him.
