They were secretly documenting this bloody revolution, and when they were forced to flee the country across Austria-Hungary border they took with them their ~30,000 feet of film hidden in potato sacks. Crazy. This has become one of my favorite movies and is a must-see film for anyone who loves and appreciates Laszlo’s work.

"Easy Rider" is a gem not just because of the budget but also what it said about the time it was made, the 60's. Laszlo's Cinematography made "Easy Rider" believable in a way that we feel for the characters. www.rogermorse.com Great Blog, Laszlo was a master of natural lighting much like Conrad Hall. “Easy Rider” is a gem not just because of the budget but also what it said about the time it was made, the 60’s.

I own the "Visions of Light" DVD which has a segment about him and his work on "Easy Rider". I've seen the movie several times since then and I must say I love his approach. When you consider the movie was shot on a very modest budget (I think it was $400,000), it's a true gem. I don’t have the pleasure of knowing him personally.
