Though I obviously voted for LIT, I'll agree with this one. It was pretty stunning.

Marvelous.  Kill Bill really is an exercise in style and the cinematography was a huge part of that.

Even though Girl With A Pearl Earring's was better.

All three were great.
Kill Bill was stunning.
GWAPE looked like it could have been storyboarded with paintings.
Lost in Translation perfectly conveyed happiness and melancholy while also really making it feel dreamy and like it was a memory of a past vacation.

I would have been happy with any of them.

Well, I've only seen preview clips of GWAPE, but based on their respective articles in AC, I'd say Kill Bill seemed more complex (in terms of camera moves, all the dimmer work, variety yet still maintenance of a clear vision, etc).

Agree/disagree?

More complex, definitely... but Pearl Earring's cinematography was simple, delicate, and beautiful.

I think Kill Bill is better, though.
