THE READER was photographed by two different cinematographers, using two different 500T film stocks.
And yet the transition is almost impossible to see.
Roger Deakins and Chris Menges arrive at the same visual language: cold postwar light, warm interiors, soft sources, deep shadows and remarkable restraint.
Two authors. One film.
Calling all you Bowie and Henson fans this one's for you - @Tim_Partridge_ has done another extra deep dive video essay, this time into the “Labyrinth”👇

I didn't actually realise that Stacy Keach also voiced Phantasm. Alongside Shirley Walker's music, it's magic, and makes sense (no spoilers for anyone who still hasn't seen it).
Pouring one out for the GOAT Stacy Keach. Him as The Phantasm in Batman: Mask of the Phantasm will always be iconic. THAT VOICE>>>>>>
Today, 500 ASA is considered a normal film speed. Some high end digital cameras reach 3200. And some cameras reach an outstanding 12800.
Two of the greatest achievements in naturalistic cinematography were made with 100 ASA film.
BARRY LYNDON. DAYS OF HEAVEN.
More than two stops slower than current film stocks. Much less sensitive than today's digital cameras.
The limitation didn’t stop Alcott and Almendros from using less artificial light.
It changed how they photographed.
@AdamRackoff I’d include David Foster with Ross and Hirsch in this. It would be tremendously hard to mess up this opening montage with the Night Ranger song. It’s basically film score with a vocal, composed for the film.
David Watkin detestaba el formato anamórfico. Algunos de sus trabajos más extraordinarios están rodados con él.
En LOS DEMONIOS, su enorme luz rebotada, la difusión y la sobreexposición se encuentran con las composiciones panorámicas y excesivas de Ken Russell.
Dos sensibilidades casi opuestas que se potencian mutuamente.
