Delli Colli gave a distinct look to every film he worked on--choosing supersaturated hues for Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and unadorned black and white for his collaboration with Pier Paolo Pasolini on The Gospel According to St. Matthew. He retired his camera after shooting Life Is Beautiful...
