  A CONVERSATION WITH ROGER DEAKINS, ASC, BSC
Roger Deakins, ASC, BSC was born and raised in a small seaside town called Torquay in Devon, England.
Deakins has compiled some 38 narrative credits including such other memorable films as the recent HBO film Dinner With Friends, Imagine entertainment's A Beautiful Mind, and his sixth feature film with the Coen brothers, The Man Who Wasn't There, which is being released in fl and white.
DEAKINS: The digital route was something we'd talked about as a possibility on O Brother as Joel and Ethan had such a specific look in mind for the picture, but it wasn't seriously considered at the beginning mainly because of cost.

 Roger Deakins and Intolerable Cruelty and Coen Brothers and The Man Who Wasn't There and digital intermediate and EFilm ...
Deakins stresses that the main advantage provided by the DI on a piece like Intolerable Cruelty is subtle in nature, but particular sequences wouldn't look the same without the process.
These kinds of subtleties, as Deakins calls such DI tweaks, are crucial, but the DP insists at the end of the day, the real reason that the digital intermediate approach will proliferate throughout the film world is the release print issue.
Roger Deakins says the DI process was used to saturate images more than would have been possible photochemically for certain sequences, particularly the Las Vegas scenes.

 INTERVIEW: Shooting Coens; D.P. Roger Deakins and "The Man Who Wasn't There"
Roger Deakins: I did a few documentaries as co-director and cameraman.
Deakins: We didn't obviously go look at Godard films before making "The Man Who Wasn't There," but I think in general, Coutard's photography is much more about naturalism and soft sources, partially because he didn't light a lot, or used natural light.
Deakins: I told them a long time ago, that as long as they want me to shoot their movies, I'll make myself available.

Filmed in fl-and-white by three-time Oscar-nominated cinematographer Roger Deakins, The Man Who Wasn't There was inspired by the seedy crime novels of James M. Cain, putting a distinctly Coen brothers' spin on the film noir tradition.
Though spiked with their characteristic humor, its moody atmosphere hearkens back to the darker moments of Blood Simple and Fargo -- a marked departure from the high-spirited slapstick of O Brother Where Art Thou.

 Review: Kundun
This film is sadly lacking in a number of important areas: passion, energy, and drama, to name a few.
And, while Kundun boasts impressive cinematography (by Roger Deakins) and an effective score (by Philip Glass), the images and music aren't enough to hide the picture's essential hollowness.
Scorsese is best known, of course, for movies about violence and corruption.
