Hello, Mr. Deakins. I hope everything is going well for you. Please forgive my poor English. I’ve watched some of the movies you recommended on the website and in ASC Magazine, such as “The Quiet Girl”, “Army of Shadows”, “American Fiction”… I found that I like every single one of the movies you recommended so much. I really hope that you can specifically talk about everything related to the movies that interest you in the future. For me, it’s extremely meaningful to listen to you discussing movies, because you have always been my idol and an example for me to learn from. I’m really looking forward to hearing you recommend some movies to all of us and your thoughts on them!!

I can’t recommend more highly The Seed of the Sacred Fig. The film will be released shortly but in the meantime you could watch any of the director’s previous films. His name is Mohammad Rasoulof and among his earlier work is Iron Island, The White Meadow, Manuscripts Don’t Burn, There is no Evil and A Man of Integrity. Mohammad Rasoulof and Andrey Zvyagintsev are making films that illustrate what power film can have.
Dear master Roger I have seen ‘The seed of the sacred fig’. It’s really good film. I connected very emotionally with that film.
whats your opinion about “Ripley’ Netflix show cinematography work. Have you seen ‘Ripley’
I have seen “purple Noon”. Shot by h3ndri decae. I like the all intense colour choices in the whole film. I like very much color Platte. Its very simplest way the film was shot. But what about your quotes. ‘there is a style before contents ‘ Ripley was shot very stylistic way compare than purple Noon. What’s you inspired in purple Noon visual approach

Your knowledge of worldwide cinema is always remarkable.
Out of curiosity: is there any horror movie that you liked? Maybe i’m completely wrong but it isn’t a genre you mention a lot in your suggestions and i’m not aware of any horror movie you worked on (even if there’s some hint to it in The Village, Sicario’s most scary scenes, a bit of splatter in Fargo too!), so I have the impression you are not a great fan of it. Is it correct?
I am not so interested in horror films, its true. I liked The Witch, which is more of a traditional horror film than The Birds or Jaws. Not that I would call these last two films horror films but some people do. I liked the original Nosferatu so it will be interesting to see the new version due out this December.
Thanks Roger!
I loved The Witch too, i think it creates a deeply disturbing and uneasy feeling (i think in this its colors and in general the cinematography play a great role) without using the traditional tricks of many horror movies that use the story just an excuse for a collection of jump scares. A24 is creating a sort of revolution in the horror genre and I think Robert Eggers is the most talentend of the directors working with them. I read he loved the original Nosferatu so much that he considered almost disgusting the idea of doing a remake of such an ageless masterpiece, but i think he’s the perfect director for it.
Well, let’s hope you’ll find a great horror story to tell, sooner or later, 20 years after The Village (a movie i loved, by the way, it has one of the most beautiful scenes i’ve ever seen – the one in which Joaquim Phoenix takes Bryce Dallas Howard’s hand and they run in slow motion, with the final part of the scene that seems almost a Caravaggio painting) the world needs and deserves another scary Deakins movie!
