Let's change perspective shall we?
How about Asian cinematography?
How about the cinematography of ZHANG YIMOU? House of Flying Daggers, Hero and Raise the Red Lantern
PARK CHAN-WOOK films - Oldboy, JSA and Thirst

Sure it's interesting and most of it dark and dirty but I still think that there are few asian good cinematographers... A high percentage of their films look less than mediocre.
If you want to talk about great cinematography then Eurpean films are incredible... so are some of the films made in South-America.
