“I'll do Godland. This movie was one of my very top favorites of 2023 and maybe ever. The DP is our amazing DP Maria von Hausswolff and so much of watching this movie for me was like seeing the way Maria sees nature and the world through the way she shot this movie. I think in particular of a descending shot of a waterfall at one point. They actually made the journey themselves across Iceland. They shot with all natural light except for like two scenes that were just candlelight.”
