281 - The Cinematography of Marty Supreme, with Darius Khondji, ASC, AFC

Academy Award®-nominated cinematographer Darius Khondji joins us to discuss his stunning work on “Marty Supreme.” In this episode, Khondji unpacks his bold visual approach with director Josh Safdie, from shooting on film with classic anamorphic lenses and expressive close-ups to building a richly textured 1950s world through production design, lighting, and color. He also shares how collaboration across every department shaped the film’s emotional power. “Anamorphic can be very minimal… The important thing is the way it renders closeups; it makes people bigger than life, like black and white does… The real old classic anamorphic of the fifties—I wanted to go back to this feeling… Anamorphic is like a magnifier. And Marty is seen through the film like that.” —Darius Khondji, ASC, AFC, Director of Photography, “Marty Supreme” Be sure to check out “Marty Supreme,” now available for at-home purchase or rental, as well as in select theaters, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.
