Throughout watching, I was always imagining how amazing it would be if Nolan did a ultra-closeup shot of only the face or parts of the face to see their facial expression (for example that super close-up eye shot in the trailer that we sadly never got to see in the final cut). I think it would have ...

I think it's time for Nolan and Hoyte to part ways. Hoyte's new collaboration with Jordan Peele is great and I found NOPE to have better cinematography than OPPENHEIMER.

I want Hoyte + Nolan's Bond films first. As well as their inevitable ancient historical epic action drama.

Ancient historical epic w/ return of RDJ. All in IMAX. Without the patina of digital recreation but huge sets, miniatures and locations. Something like DUNE but real life.

Historical epic in 70mm IMAX would be mindblowing from Nolan no doubt.

I've been predicting he will definitely do Bond for the next film. Unless Bond property owners are willing to wait another full few years before signing him on, at which point a loooong time would have passed. However, I do wish (though I highly doubt), Nolan would do a Michael Crichton novel film a...

Film > Digital any day. But people seem to forget one of the most beautiful looking digitally shot movies was HER. By Hoyte Van Hoytema. Personally I think Jarin Blaschke who does Robert Eggers films and M Nights films is a better fit for Nolan than the cliche Greig Fraser choice. So this guy was a...

I'll Hoyte over this Fraser guy. As Nicolas said he's more on the digital side and I prefer my cinematographers on the non-digital side.

Is there a difference in the two in visual appearance, besides the film grain, and technicalities of workflow?

Deakins would never work with Nolan because they have a massive disagreement with film vs digital Fraser is good but I don’t see his style working well with Nolans I feel I’d like to see Nolan work with someone like Christopher Doyle Interesting to know all that you're stated. What is Fraser's styl...

Finally watched it. One of my favourite Nolan films. The ending in particular is haunting because it recontextualises EVERYTHING else and why everything was happening, whilst ending on a level of melancholic dread that I'm not sure I've seen from any other of Nolan's films so far. Yeah, for me, one...

How I’d rank Nolan films cinematography wise:

1. Dunkirk
2. The Dark Knight Rises
3. The Dark Knight
4. Interstellar
5. Tenet
6. The Prestige
7. Inception
8. Oppenheimer
9. Memento
10. Insomnia
11. Batman Begins

Why is Oppenheimer that low?

Regarding Nolan and Hoyt’s collaboration, in terms of cinematography, for me it goes: 1. Dunkirk 2. Interstellar 3. Oppenheimer 4. Tenet I think it’s time for Nolan to work with another cinematographer. Scorsese, Tarantino, Villeneuve all have worked with different cinematographers and each new cin...
