American Cinematographer Discusses Waiting for the Barbarians

American Cinematographer interviewer John Bailey, ASC discusses Waiting for the Barbarians with cinematographer Chris Menges, ASC, BSC and producer Michael Fitzgerald. It is an interesting discussion which provides some great insights into what they were trying to achieve with their shots. I do like what they said about those glasses worn by Johnny Depp. At around 52.14 they discuss how they filmed the scene with Joll and Mandel (Robert Pattinson) whilst showing the footage in which they are sitting in judgment of Mark Rylance’s Magistrate (ie photo above).

Mark Rylance Tells Collider “Robert is a phenomenal actor …”

Christina Radish from Collider spoke to Mark Rylance and this is what he had to say about working opposite Rob on Waiting for the Barbarians and whether it lifted Mark’s game:

How did an actor like Robert Pattinson compare?

RYLANCE: Robert is a phenomenal actor, who’s doing terrific things. He has a lot of incredible, pent-up, explosive energy that he can share, as an actor, which was very imprisoning, at times, and impressive. He’s very strong.
