Welcome to Day 4 of Girl Week 2021! As I do every year, I'm really enjoying all of your posts. Hopefully, you're enjoying mine.
If you're in America, like me, you're likely spending the day with family and having a massive feast in celebration of the day known as Thanksgiving. With that in mind, I'm just providing a picture post today to honor women in a field where they have gotten far less attention than those on the other side of their cameras - cinematography. These are shots from 10 movies where the director of photography (DP) is a woman. This isn't a ranking, so they're presented in no particular order.
Black Panther
DP: Rachel Morrison
(2018)
Be Kind Rewind
DP: Ellen Kuras
(2008)
Deidra & Laney Rob a Train

(2017)
Beau Travail

A Quiet Place Part II

Of course, if I missed your post let me know in the comment section and I'll fix it ASAP!
I love this post! You've got some great films here, and a few I still need to check out. I forgot The Wrestler had a female DP. That movie is so good, I need to re-watch it again.
ReplyDeleteThat makes two of us. I haven't seen it in quite some time, myself. And it's soooo good.
DeleteI have only seen Black Panther and The Wrestler which have both great visuals in a completely different way. I would like to see Mulan for sure. I don’t know the others except for A Quiet Place which I will not see....too scary, but I will check out the others. Here is my link https://createdbybb.blogspot.com/2021/11/girls-week-2021.html
ReplyDeleteI'll be the first to admit Mulan isn't the greatest film, but man does it look good. It might be the best looking movie of the year.
DeleteI've seen a few of these so far with Beau Travail being a Blind Spot earlier this year.
ReplyDeleteTruthfully speaking, that's one I still need to see. I included because I know its visuals are highly regarded. I do plan on watching it soon.
DeleteI haven't seen all of these but Beau Travail was a striking looking film. Odd at times but it dealt with complex issues. I doubt that I'd watch it again but it was worth seeing once.
ReplyDeleteI've heard as much, and I've heard lots about the visuals, which is why I included it. I hope to see it soon.
DeleteI really love this post! Great choices too. Some of these I had no idea were shot by women!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Most people don't, so don't feel bad.
