- IndieWire VIDEO ESSAY: Gliding Over All: The Cinematography of Breaking Bad, Season 4
Their video essay on season 5.1 can be found here.
Much more via the link.Hollywood can keep its 3D, its CGI and whatever Dolby Surround version theyre up to now. For a contemporary cinematic experience as visceral and visually arresting as Breaking Bad, audiences must look abroad, to Gaspar Noés Enter the Void, or further, to films coming out of Thailand, Japan, and South Korea. As Dave Bunting and Derek Hill point out in their video essay and commentary on season 5.1, Vince Gilligans series puts U.S. cinema to shame, not just in terms of story, but in its execution: The direction, the dialogue, the acting, andas is evident from the video essay abovethe cinematography are, quite simply, of a higher order of intelligence. An intelligence that is extremely, at times obsessively, self-aware.
