Filmmaker Mike Leigh has been wanting to make a biopic about English Romantic painter J.M.W. Turner for a long time now, and there was surely no other choice for cinematographer than his longtime collaborator Dick Pope. The two have excelled at a breed of tableau filmmaking that can feel at once antiquated and invigorating. There are single frames from "Another Year" and "Vera Drake," among others, that arrest me still. But for "Mr. Turner," it was absolutely essential. The film was a unique prospect. It allowed Pope to show off a little more than any of his and Leigh's past efforts because of the subject matter itself. An artist who captured light on canvas like few others, who saw the encroachment of technology overtake the dominance of his art form, Turner is an intriguing figure. Leigh himself has said the film is about light — the very essence of Pope's contribution.

This week has been a lot more exciting than last as it has been fantastic in the music video realm. Three of the videos in this week’s list all share beautifully choreographed routines with equally stunning cinematography. The imagery is sharp, slick and stylistic but it is the other two that stand out for me. Both Rustie’s and Arcade Fire’s videos take two conventional music video formats (lyric video and performance video) and challenge the way we look at music videos. It is great to see that there are still artists out there creative enough to take a usually rigid format and get extremely creative with it. Both videos work well as the creative elements are very simple.
Enjoy!
