In my unscientific survey, Linus Sandgren seems to hold the record for number of interviews done by any DP last year for their work on single film. I’m not including movies long overdue in receiving theatrical release-1994’s Cold Water or that very special exception, The Other Side of the Wind-because that says nothing about contemporary production and isn’t helpful.)
(As usual, I’m following a semi-arbitrary set of rules: 16 or 70mm-only films don’t count, and the title needs to have received some US theatrical release in 2018. That aside, not much has changed since my last roundup: with some notable exceptions, the bulk of 35mm feature work is being done by established directors with the clout to get the resources they want, often working with a small roll call of DPs (Charlotte Bruus Christensen, Linus Sandgren, Seamus McGarvey, Robbie Ryan, Dan Mindel) who seem increasingly recognized as 35 specialists. Anderson, Ken Loach, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Zach Snyder, James Gray-directors who simply won’t budge on working from film. Part of the low tally can be attributed to lack of new films from J.J. The total number is unlikely to soar above 40 anytime in the foreseeable future, and every film loyalist taking the year off makes a large difference. For five years, I’ve been rounding up the previous year’s US theatrical releases of films shot, in whole or significant part, on 35mm-yes, this year’s tally is lower than any of my previous totals.
