American Cinematographer Discusses Waiting for the Barbarians

American Cinematographer interviewer John Bailey, ASC discusses Waiting for the Barbarians with cinematographer Chris Menges, ASC, BSC and producer Michael Fitzgerald. It is an interesting discussion which provides some great insights into what they were trying to achieve with their shots. I do like what they said about those glasses worn by Johnny Depp. At around 52.14 they discuss how they filmed the scene with Joll and Mandel (Robert Pattinson) whilst showing the footage in which they are sitting in judgment of Mark Rylance’s Magistrate (ie photo above).
