Cinematographer Christopher Doyle was born in Australia and speaks fluent Cantonese and Putonghua. He has won critical acclaim for his photography on such films as Happy Together, Chungking Express, In The Mood For Love and, more recently, Hero and Rabbit-Proof Fence. He takes a keen interest in traditional Chinese medicine and the concept of qi or energy. 'When people watch a film they are engaged by the energy, life is about the energy that has occurred,' he says.
Age 51 next month.
Height Shorter than most girlfriends.
Weight I get heavier the older I get (my doctor still can't explain why).
Occupation Dilitantte (Dilettante). So lazy I can't even spell.
Do you work out? When I was younger I could reach those heavier parts ... now I have to stand on my head to get the same effect, which I do as often as possible.
Where? On any bed that will have me.
