Compared to other films, the collaboration between Alfonso and Lubezki is a low-budget film ($5 million). For directors and producers, eating and drinking is also a very important skill; Narrative uses narration and a narrative technique that directly makes the audience jump out of the story, making the perspective more detached, and also visually adopts a documentary-style shooting method: hand-held, shooting in natural light as much as possible, lens glare and light spots Integration with the picture, very improvised composition, but sometimes makes the actors stare at the camera, making the audience and the story both far and close...
From the point of view of photography alone, the feeling of freehand and lightness runs through the whole film (I have to sigh that the latitude of the film can still be slightly beaten compared to the current latitude), of course, I wish the scene of some shots could not be tighter ( lol), the overall feeling is that you get the feeling that lubezki doesn't say that it's very intentional to make the audience feel the presence of photography, it's like people feel the air; the seemingly improvised composition is the unity of style , Compared with the later "The Tree of Life", the overall photography is more to serve the narrative and the performance of the actors.
The choice of film is also in line with the theme of the story. The colder film (greenish?) also enhances the sense of freedom to a certain extent. Of course, Lubezki’s playing with the mirror is also essential; The style strengthens the perspective of the film, and also echoes with some loose fragments in the film (the camera slowly pans to the parade and propaganda of the road film, the living conditions of the people in the restaurant, etc. indirectly reflect and reflect on politics), forming The audience's first visual impression after the screening.
