In the latest episode of the Dolby Creator Podcast, acclaimed cinematographer Darius Khondji shares insights into his work on the film “Marty Supreme.” Known for his Academy Award-nominated contributions to cinema, Khondji delves into his collaborative process with director Josh Safdie.
During the podcast, he emphasizes his visual approach, which includes shooting with classic anamorphic lenses that enhance close-up shots and enrich the film’s overall aesthetic. Khondji describes how he aimed to evoke the feeling of old-school 1950s anamorphic cinematography, saying that while the anamorphic style can be minimalistic, it possesses a unique ability to render close-ups in a way that emphasizes the grandeur of its subjects.
