Great commentary. The one thing that made the cinematography of this film so perfect, was that it kept me so immersed in the story that I never once thought about the lighting while watching it. Only now, seeing this video, have I become aware of the artistry behind the cinematography. Of course, that's what the great DP's in film do. Keep you engaged in the story without drawing attention to the technical side.
17 stops .... I watched this film a couple of weeks ago, and the sheer dynamic range of light under complete control was breathtaking by way of immersion into an historical past that felt real, palpable. The colour harmonies around the two actresses on set did wonders for drawing attention to the subtlest of skin tones. I wish I had 17 stops for my own work.....
Loved the look of this one! There's something about the coloring in it that's so.... yummy. lol. I usually hate the look of period films done on digital cos it makes it so much more obvious what I'm seeing is just actors in costumes, there's a phoniness to everything that takes me out of things, but here it actually really works :)
The inspiration from Caspar David Friedrich is accurate, both Claire and Celine mention it on an interview, but i think you forgot to mention the lighting and portrait inspirations came from paintings and techniques by french painter Camille Corot.
one big reason this movie looks as good as it did, is the color grading. whoever did the color, made the image pristine clear, true to life, but also have a strong oil painting quality to it.
Thanks so much for this. It is one of my favourite films of all tine. 🙏🏼
