‘Poor Things’: Yorgos Lanthimos and Cinematographer Robbie Ryan on the Film’s Most Intense Sequence
"Poor Things": Yorgos Lanthimos and cinematographer Robbie Ryan on why Lisbon sequence was the toughest to shoot.
Yorgos Lanthimos ‘ “ Poor Things, ” spans five different major locations — London, Paris, a ship, Alexandria and Lisbon — which meant production designers James Price and Shona Heath had a considerable undertaking ahead of them when they signed on. I hadn’t worked with Emma until “The Favourite” and Olivia had a small part in “The Lobster,” but I remember they were surprised that we would shoot and move the camera and do another shot, and there was no setup. It evokes a step back into that era, but the reasoning behind that was this big jump into a color world, and it would be a nice change of pace in the film, and the visual curtain moves to Ektachrome in Lisbon.
