Rodrigo Prieto On The Story Behind His Directorial Debut ‘Pedro Páramo’ & Why He Was Offended By “Inauthentic” Mexican Portrayal In ‘Emilia Pérez’ — Camerimage


Rodrigo Prieto’s ‘Pedro Páramo’ hit on Netflix on November 6.

Born and raised in Mexico, Prieto is best known as the DoP who lensed a series of now-celebrated features that shaped the early 2000’s renaissance of Mexican cinema like Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Babel, 21 Grams, and Amores Perros. In fact, much of the prep on Pedro Páramo took place while Prieto was photographing two of last year’s biggest movies, Greta Gerwig’s existential hit Barbie and Martin Scorsese’s Osage epic Killers Of The Flower Moon. I remember on ‘Amores Perros’ I had discussions with a special effects crew member who wanted me to shoot a car crash scene in slow motion.
