BLAKE BEST INDEPENDENT FILMS

Tuesday, June 29, 2010

What's the best-shot movie of the last decade, according to cinematographers?


The American Society of Cinematographers has issued a poll settling definitively, once and for all (ha!) what the best-shot film of 1998-2008 was.

The non-controversial answer: "Amélie," shot by Bruno Delbonnel.

It's a bit of a bizarre choice, but one representative of the list as a whole, which tends to favor artificial color palettes (often computer-tweaked), virtuoso long takes and other strong assertions of of visual personality. Nothing wrong with that, of course -- it's easier to register work like that. Either way, it's impressive that Roger Deakins placed higher for the relatively unshowy "No Country For Old Men" over the absolutely staggering "The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford" -- but, of course, more people saw the former, and that's what happens when you let 17,000 people vote in the final, public vote.
