It's beyond drab: grays and browns dominate the visual palette underneath the super underexposure and the always thick grain. Despite this, there's meticulous precision in the framing, a constant variation between raw images and painterly ones, and frequently very complex camera movements involving commanding control of the camera and sustaining immaculate composition within that framework. This is notable because it's markedly easy (in the realm of cinematography) to stick your camera at already beautiful objects or locations, say Jessica Chastain or a beautiful valley, and have them turn out gorgeous. It's the object or locations that's beautiful, not the cinematography. What's so impressive is that Hoyte took an aesthetically displeasing framework, and still made it into something beautiful.
So, just try imagining what he'll do with an artist who's films lend themselves to awe-inspiring visuals.

Damn. This could be the greatest looking film of all time. Oscar nom and win already
I move that when referencing Hoyte van Hoytema on the forum, he shall from this point on only be referred to as Hoyte Hoyte, or possibly Hoytey, depending on the circumstances. Thank you for your time.

That doesn't mean that look will carry over into Interstellar. Nolan is the director, he'll tell him what he wants. Have faith.
That's the part some people don't get. He will do what Nolan directs him to do. I doubt the film will be some drab, bleak, affair like TTSS.
True, of course, but my thinking was that Nolan may have chosen him based on the more drab visual style that he's renowned for. I doubt that's the case though.

I hope so. To be honest I expect this to be his best looking film to date
