a weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves
Every film has a cinematography. But not every film has a great cinematography, one that isn't just pretty but that is capable of turning the words from the script into visuals, while building atmosphere, delivering emotions and making the audience feel as if they are experiencing the story first hand. This is the week's theme, or anyway these are the characteristics my favourite cinematographies have.
Moonlight (2016)
Shot by James Laxton, the cinematography is pretty much the only aspect of Barry Jenkins's film that stuck with me after viewing it for the first time. It is stunning, with vibrant and rich colours, and delivers what words could never deliver. When I rewatched the film — and ended up loving it — the cinematography even moved me to tears.
The Revenant (2015) - Review
Shot by Emmanuel Lubezki, The Revenant's is the first that comes to my mind when I think of cinematography. It is absolutely breathtaking as shooting in freezing conditions and only using natural light makes the film so much immersive and visceral, and makes you feel like you're the main character, facing all the adversities nature has to offer.
Wind River (2017) - Review
Shot by Ben Richardson, Wind River's cinematography is as hard-hitting as the story it tells, it provides the film with the perfect atmosphere, and never really makes you forget about the harsh bureaucracy and cultural hostilities.
