"British cinematographer Roger Deakins is one of the greatest artists of light and shade in movie history and he turns 75 today. In our April 2020 issue we picked ten shots that show off different facets of his genius".
My post of the 16th March 2018 reflected on him winning his first Oscar for Blade Runner 2049 after thirteen previous nominations. Then on 31st December 2020 I recorded his knighthood in the New Year honours lists.
The ten shots below are from 1984, The Shawshank Redemption, Fargo, The Assassination of Jesse James, Kundun, O Brother, Where Art Though, Skyfall, Sicario, Blade Runner 2049 and 1917 which won Deakins his second Oscar.
The article mentions lots of other films shot by Deakins. These include The Big Lebowski (remembering that bowling ball), A Serious Man, No Country For Old Men, Prisoners, Jarhead, Revolutionary Road and 2012.
