Cinematographer Christopher Ross On Capturing “The Gray Area Of The Human Condition” In ‘The Day Of The Jackal’


Cinematographer Christopher Ross on capturing the gray area of the human condition in ‘The Day Of The Jackal’.

CHRISTOPHER ROSS: Well, every project is a little bit different, and even if you’ve worked with the director a number of times, it’s quite good to sort of almost expand the collaboration by trying to be quiet – and it’s hard for cinematographers to not talk, we’re a fairly talkative bunch – and try and listen. It’s so interesting that Eddie’s essentially propelled by whatever the task at hand is, whether he needs to take the place of the chauffeur, create a diversion, mastermind a double cross or whatever he’s doing. And Lashana’s Bianca ends up being the same, that she’s this character that will stop at nothing to achieve the goal of catching the enigma, so they both leave a terrible wake behind their ships.
