Anecdotes

No Subtitles Necessary: Laszlo & Vilmos is a 2008 American documentary film written and directed by James Chressanthis.

Background

One of the motivations for making the documentary was "[t]he one-two punch of Altman's death in 2006 and the onset of health problems for Mr. Kovacs ultimately spurred Mr. Chressanthis and his co-producers to bring the two men together again — this time in front of a camera — and have them tell their tale." Director James Chressanthis studied under both Kovacs and Zsigmond.

Some critics noted that the film is more than about Zsigmond and Kovacs' work. Michael Goldman said, "As much as No Subtitles Necessary documents the professional successes of these cinematographers, it's mainly about their profound friendship and devotion to each other. Near the end of the documentary, Audrey Kovács illustrates that point, insisting that while she lost her husband in 2007, she isn't in fact his only widow.
