  • Roger Deakins, James Ellis Deakins, and Nomadland cinematographer Joshua James Richards have a conversation about the cinematography of the Cohen Brother's 1996 film, FARGO.
    Fargo is a 1996 black comedy crime film written, produced and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Frances McDormand stars as Marge Gunderson, a pregnant Minnesota police chief investigating roadside homicides that ensue after a desperate car salesman (William H. Macy) hires two criminals (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife in order to extort a hefty ransom from her wealthy father (Harve Presnell). The film was an international American-British co-production.
    Filmed in the United States during the end of 1995, Fargo premiered at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival, where Joel Coen won the festival's Prix de la mise en scène (Best Director Award) and the film was nominated for the Palme d'Or. The film was both a commercial and critical success, earning particular acclaim for the Coens' direction and script and the performances of McDormand, Macy, and Buscemi. Fargo received seven Oscar nominations at the 69th Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, winning two: Best Actress for McDormand and Best Original Screenplay for the Coens.

      I've not seen a proper study of The 13th Warrior's cinematography yet. It wasn't the biggest film by any means, and it definitely went through production hell, but the final picture had a raw, genuine look that's always stuck with me. I'd watch that video in a heartbeat!

      I would like to hear Deakins talk about the big Lebowski and the man who wasn’t there it’s kinda weird how he doesn’t talk about them much also if you could make something about blood simple that would also be appreciated because there’s not much conversation about that film

    Great interview about a fantastic movie. It's my personal favourite Coen movie. Unfortunately in Hollywood today, movies like "Fargo" are a rare exception. The Coen Brothers and a few others are still making movies with real lasting cinematic value, instead of the Marvel comics/big explosions/ultra-violent/green screen CGI blockbuster crap that has totally taken over the industry.

    With an exception to Blade Runner 2049 everything after Fargo has been quite minimalist for Deakins. And that’s not a bad thing, every filmmaker brings their own unique style and that is why I love this art form.

    I don’t really consider Macy to be the main character. Going into it I thought Frances was the main character (for reasons I can't explain it was years after release before I finally saw it). After watching it I saw it as more of an ensemble cast.

      Hi Ozzie, it's called "Argonne" by Zachariah Hickman. You can find it in the UA-cam Studio Audio library. I didn't add it to the credits because the artist does not make that a requirement to use their music. However, since there is an interest in the music in these videos, I will try to start crediting all the music I use. Thanks for watching!
