Each of my gay irl friends that I've discussed the movie agreed with me, tho, that Tatum is maybe the least attractive member of this movie's stripper troupe. To gay men, anyway.

soderbergh has been doing that for a while. i kind of Don't Get It. i mean, I get that he's emulating to some extent the subdued, flashed-out palettes of 70s New Hollywood cinematography, but I don't recall that stuff being so soft, blown-out, and sickly-looking. i mean i suppose soderbergh is getting the results he wants, and he's very thoughtful and consistent about it, but it still looks like shit a lot of the time.

wes anderson is addicted to the piss filter too and it drives me even crazier with him because his movies would be amazing looking without it. i think soderbergh's movies have looked worse since he switched to digital... DPs have figured out how to shoot good-looking movies on digital now, to the extent that it's pretty difficult to tell when you're watching digital nowadays unless you're looking out for the right things, but soderbergh either hasnt figured that out or just isnt interested in looking like film. he even admits that DPing his own movies means they dont look as good as they could, but i think he likes the level of control it gives him

For Soderbergh it worked best in the sand-blasted landscape of Erin Brockovich.

well moonrise kingdom was on super 16mm which gives it a bit of grain and anderson definitely gave it a more subdued palette than the previous films, more '70s. but all his films before that make a lot of use of really sharp photography and eye-popping color. darjeeling limited is pretty intense that way, although there are a few sequences that are self-consciously otherwise.
soderbergh has been going for variations on the flashed 70s look for a while but i agree it's when he moved to digital that it started looking dim and ugly. when i saw the informant on the theater i had to ask the manager if the bulb in their projector was dim. a problem is that by default digital cameras don't have as much latitude as 35mm, so if you aren't careful to balance the range of light intensity in a shot, you end up with either some parts of the frame incredibly blown out or parts that are really dim. that eastwood film on hoover tried to use this as a positive by making it a basic part of its almost-monochromatic "prestige" look, but i thought that film was incredibly ugly.
i think you're right that soderbergh likes having direct control over cinematography, and of course he knows that there are ways to get around the sort of problems i mention above, as many digitally-shot films (among them david fincher's) look a fuckton like 35mm. but i think he's become enamored of the "ugly" look he gets. which is why i note above that it's clearly intentional. it just hurts my eyes (literally).

except for the good german i can't think of a film where soderbergh uses the kind of expressive depth of field that anderson relies on. and anderson still relies a lot on wide-angle lenses (although i think they were less in evidence in moonrise kingdom) which soderbergh def does not. just note all the very long-lens work in magic mike.
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Saturday, 15 June 2013 03:44 (5 days ago) Permalink
to be pretentious i think most of anderson's films starting w/ rushmore est. a kind of internal dialectic b/t the sort of depth of field/wide angle stuff associated w/ welles (and also to a great extent, scorsese and bogdanovich, both big influences on anderson) and (in smaller doses) the longer-lens, hazier, more freewheeling (zooms etc) photography closely associated with other new hollywood stuff anderson loves (think ashby, altman, much of the graduate, etc....)
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Saturday, 15 June 2013 03:48 (5 days ago) Permalink
i think anderson is probably the smartest director working in terms of knowingly and expressively utilizing past styles. see e.g. the rough handheld work used to cover the max fischer players staging of "serpico" in rushmore. or the weird sloooowww zooms in darjeeling limited.
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Saturday, 15 June 2013 03:49 (5 days ago) Permalink
soderbergh's aesthetic has always seemed less eclectic, and a little too stuck on notions of "realism" as the motivation for different forms of camerawork (or perhpas more charitably, he tends to work within a range of period and contemporary styles that signify "realism"). i think he's a fascinating filmmaker but because he's so whip-smart in interviews he maybe gets more credit than he deserves for the sharpness of his style....

j. edgar was shot on film, and used the expensive silver retaining process that WB indulges clint with on all his movies. i agree it was really ugly
― i wanna be a gabbneb baby (Hungry4Ass), Saturday, 15 June 2013 04:20 (5 days ago) Permalink
really? well then they intentionally went for that blown-out look that comes more naturally to digital. and yeah it really did look like shit, it seems like a not-uncommon look for prestigious historical pictures nowadays though?--although clint went over the top with it.

it's like he decided to remove all the color from color film, but then also eliminated the full greyscale range, so it just ended up looking a 23rd generation print or something.
