Fair warning: You’re going to see a lot of Coen Brothers movies on this list. As the go-to cinematographer for Joel and Ethan Coen, Deakins has lent his talents to a wide range of classics, but as the Coens vacillate between comedy and drama, so does Deakins. A Serious Man is technically a comedy, but it does have some darker overtones, and Deakins...
One of the most beloved movies of all time, The Shawshank Redemption was far from a box office hit when it was released, but numerous Oscar nominations—including Best Picture and Cinematography—and countless TV airings later, it’s one of America’s favorite movies of all time. Deakins’ work here is subtle, and it’s far more about framing and camera ...
When you think of Roger Deakins you often think “gorgeous images”, but the guy is also incredibly versatile. Fargo, for example, is at times downright plain, but there’s a methodical quality to the cinematography that’s all in service of the outlandish story the Coen Brothers are telling—a story of a “nice” man in a nice town doing a very, very bad...
Two things: Bad movies can have great cinematography, and The Village is not a bad movie. While M. Night Shyamalan’s thriller suffered from sky-high expectations, subsequent watches having already made the twist go down far smoother. This is an atmospheric thriller, not a straight-up horror film, and it showcases some of Deakins’ best work. Shyamal...
The level of difficulty on 1917is insane. The entire movie is made to look like it's one continuous shot, and it plays out entirely in real-time. That in and of itself is a challenge, but the fact that it's a World War I film with action sequences and explosions and practical effects, and is shot almost entirely on location, makes this nearly impos...
But pretty pictures do help. No Country for Old Men, which finally won the Coen Brothers that Oscar while Deakins lost out to Robert Elswit’s There Will Be Blood, is a stunning piece of work and one of the very best Deakins/Coens collaborations. It’s a Western, but not in the traditional sense, and Deakins’ cinematography doesn’t so much showcase t...
O Brother, Where Art Thou?was a groundbreaking film in terms of the cinematic process in that it was one the first movies on which a digital intermediate was used, which gave Deakins and the Coen Brothers much more control over the specific color correction they wanted to drown out the look of the film. The result is a movie that feels storybook-li...
Whether you agree that Skyfall is one of the best James Bond movies or not, you can’t argue with Deakins’ absolutely incredible cinematography. This is one of the best-shot action movies of the 21st century as the camera frames Bond as an aging hero in a changing world, questioning his place. The set pieces are jaw-dropping in their richness, from ...
While black and white photography is used sparingly nowadays, of course Roger Deakins comes along and uses the format to masterful results in 2001’s The Man Who Wasn’t There. This Coen Brothers picture returned the brothers to neo-noir territory, and comparing how Deakins and the Coens paint 1950s America here and in A Serious Manis further proof o...
Roger Deakins is still churning out some of the best work of his entire career. Teaming up with director Denis Villeneuve a third time results in Blade Runner 2049, the duo’s most immaculately crafted aesthetic yet. Villeneuve’s steady, deliberate pacing allows Deakins’ images to really soak in, and the cinematographer takes full advantage of the a...
