We Need to Talk About Oscar
Rodrigo Prieto takes the stand in the director’s chair
After lensing one of last year’s most unexpected yet remarkable double-feature pairings - Barbie and Killers of the Flower Moon - Rodrigo Prieto, widely regarded as one of his generation’s finest cinematographers, brings us his feature directorial debut, Pedro Páramo.
This time around on the show, we had the privilege of sitting down with Rodrigo at Camerimage, the world’s No1 festival dedicated to the art of cinematography. During our conversation, we talk about the experience of adapting one's favorite book into a feature-length project, navigating the fears and pressures that come with it, and the power images hold.
