Here’s everything I learned about cinematography from rewatching Ocean’s Eleven.ġ0. I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this movie, simply because it’s fun. Instead of showing off the glitz and glamour of the strip, we spend most of our time in hotel rooms, hallways, secret gambling rooms, air ducts, and vaults. It’s funny because it’s a Vegas movie that doesn’t really feel like a Vegas movie in most ways. It’ll never make a list of the Top 100 Most Beautiful Movies Ever Made. Overall, the cinematography of this movie is generally unremarkable and that’s kind of why I like it. I was curious to observe how the same person taking on both roles played into the production of the movie. Not only did the dude direct the movie which is a mission in and of itself, he also DPed it. One of the biggest reasons this movie (that I’ve admittedly seen countless, countless times before) made the Cinema25 Cut was because Director Steven Soderbergh is also the Director of Photography (DP). I’m a gigantic fan of heist movies to begin with ( Inside Man being another favourite), but this one takes the cake as a phenomenal showcase of talent and entertainment. It has it all: a massive star-studded cast, romance, comedy, humour, cleverness, flash, fast-pace, and keeping the viewer hooked til the very end. Hands-down one of my favourite movies of all time.
