The Irishman Cinematography Featurette by Rodrigo Prieto 

I still can't get this movie out of my head

From Goodfellas, Casino, thru Wolf of Wall Street and this Irishman... Scorsese takes the time to introduce characters and the world they live in. To let the audience experience a bit of that world for an extended time, without being tedious or boring. The payoff is that when the story reaches its conclusion it feels more genuinely cathartic.

Saw this in a Recliner Cinema, couldn't stop smiling like a 5 year old at Christmas this movie is a Masterpiece and it went straight into my top 10 of all time fuck the acting is simply stunning and De Niro is off the scale 11/10

It would be great to see light setups from this movie with Rodrigo's commentaries

15 minutes is too long to wait 10 minutes doesn’t account for traffic How about 11:17?

Joe Pesci was like , are we done Marty?! , ok see ya then , no press conferences hardly any interviews, just in and out , this guy is a true legend

When you try to get out of the industry, videos like these fuck you up and make you a fanatic of cinema

He deserves the Oscar for his work on this

This is so good, as usual, you guys have the best content for people interested in cinematography, thanks for the great job!!!

Muchas felicidades Rodrigo, otro gran trabajo que te echas!!!

Great content, thanks for producing it.

awesome interview

Marty is a LEGEND ✊🏼

Such a masterpiece.

I love this movie, it actually made me cry from joy 3 different times. When I think about this movie, I tear up because I don't feel like I will ever get to relive that experience with the current state of Cinema. Thank God for A24, so I try to support movies in their theatrical release, because that is what I want to see in Cinema's. Coppolla describes The Godfather as a family photo album when he see's the movie, his family members were apart of the production of that movie. His daughter Sophia Coppolla is Michael Corleone's God Child in the Baptism scene. That is what this movie feels like, an intimate family photo album of all the different people that Scorsese has had the opportunity to work with in his movies and other productions that he is responsible for. From the actors to behind the scenes, so many names that you can catch in several of Scorsese picture credits rolls. The Irishman quite possible may have topped The Godfather for me as my favorite film of all time, I never thought to myself in my life that I would ever say that. God bless Scorsese.

This channel is pure gold

Saw it in the cinema and watched it again last night on Netflix. Incredible film. Compelling until the fade-out at the end. Great score. So many incredible two-hander scenes too. Amazing acting by De Niro, Pacino & Pesci. Scorsese has to win the Oscar for this- but if he couldn't win for Raging Bull & Goodfellas I doubt they'll come through for him with this labor of love. I think Pesci could get an Oscar too. He stole the show for me.

He's such a great cinematographer. Love his work!

loved everything about this 🧠

God I hope it gets a physical release i want it for my collection

Brilliant movie. Just a masterpiece.

Thank you sir for your exelenr work i enjoy that.

Woooooooooooooow ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Rodrigo todo un crack como cinematógrafo. Merece un Oscar sin duda, a parte está con madre su playera de Silence.

Rodrigo Prieto love his work since his works with Alejandro G. Iñárritu, glad he started collaborating with Scorsese and making beautiful pictures!

Great movie 👏👏👏

[4:13] Ageing of actors in film has been done before and it can’t get more convincing than Richard Linklater’s Boyhood because it was real. You forget.

Best movie of the year! 💯👏

What Konstantin Alfi said. I would love to see a lighting breakdown of "The Irishman". Imagine the lessons it would teach us aspiring film makers.

I want to hear more about the 9 camera coverage rig!

4:04 For me, the first effective, convincing "aging" FX was _The Curious Case of Benjamin Button_ The beauty of this film is it wasn't about that, although time is a big element in the movie. A bravura work of art.

Cool video thanks.

Damn, just trying to wrap my head around the sheer technical complexity of shooting this movie!!

Amazing Mexican Cinematographer!

Wow.

The de-aging techniques in The Irishman were undeniably impressive...but not quite to the level of Boyhood.

I’m quite a fan of Martin Scorsese, but in the one scene when Jimmy Hoffa is talking to Frank Sheeran on the phone. Why wasn’t the light on the phone lit on Hoffa’s end ? It’s a very intricate scene

7.8/10 movie 9.8/10 ending

Noice.

Viva México 🇲🇽

The oscar goes to martin scorsese in the irishman

I have no doubt: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and The Irishman. Two great directors have been influenced by “historical exactitude” proposed in Roma by Alfonso Cuarón.

He gets to call Mr.Scorsese ...Marty !!!!

Something I felt weird about this film (which I loved), it's that it looks kind of... Too HD? Like everything seems so sharp and crisp it's weird. I don't know how to describe it, just that the movie looks super high-quality and saturated, which is just a little off-putting at first.

Since Amores Perros to The Irishman, Rodrigo Prieto is a Chingon and talented mexican.

2:48 Marty's knees are in better shape than mine and I'm 21. Ain't that a bitch?

It's a tough competition between Prieto, Richardson, and van Hoytema.

Prieto looks like David O. Russell

It's such a shame the de-aging doesn't work, hopefully it can be re-done in 5, or 10 years when it will be seamless

For me it's the first Scorsese Movie, with a bad Cinematography. It feels like Mr. Prieto tried to copy the style of Ballhaus and didn't made it. I am missing the Grain and the colors of Good Fellas , Casino or Departed.

As much as I love this guy, wish scorcese stayed with Richardson!

I thought the movie was incredible. Unfortunately, the theater I saw it at projected it as 2.35:1 and everything from the top of people's heads, newspapers headlines and the bottoms of tires were all cropped. Ive never felt so sick watching a film in my life.

I must be the only one who didn't really enjoy The Irishman. I understand that Scorsese wanted to make a subdued film, one lacking in the visual trickery and mastery of his famous works (indeed imo he hasn't been at the top of his craft since Kundun), but here the direction felt flat - like an anoymous episode of Broadwalk Empire. I couldn't get past the digital effects - they stifled De Niro's movements too much and fundamentally altered his performance. There's a strong performance there from De Niro, but it's literally struggling to get out of the mannequin like appearance of his de-aged face. He excelled in the final third of the film. Pesci was excellent, and it was great to see those two on screen again. I never rated Steve Zallian as a writer - he wrote Scorsese's worst film, Gangs of New York, and here the script, though intelligent, seems too unfocused and sprawling, there's no main narrative thrust or focus...a movie like Casino developed each character's arcs to more dramatic effect, and Raging Bull better portrayed the sense of regret and the passing of time.

I think the film moved too slow. And the actors are elderly. And it shows in how they move. Which is to say. They barely move at all. And when they do, it’s very slow

The film is very good, but not great. I call it *Old* fellas. What is missing? Any sense of real danger for Frank. He spent his entire life killing. His family was never in danger? His daughter. Sure it cost him the love of his family - who I guess somehow knew but..... Not saying anything is wrong with the film, but I both don't like Frank as a character and I was never interested in him. It's more about watching the editing cinematography and acting. Bravura filmmaking to less then full effect. Unlike Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and Taxi Driver - which you can *never* forget, or stop thinking about once having seen them.

Get more technical please

I watched this movie on a big screen and I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE (!) THAT YOU'D INTENDED TO MAKE THEM LOOK YOUNGER! AND YOU KNOW, WHY? BECAUSE THEY STILL MOVE LIKE THEY ARE FROM THE SAME AGE! BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SAME AGE! Good morning! It was a terrible idea, and no, it didn't work AT ALL. Waste of energy.

What kind of a cretin of an editor puts drum beats over someone talking in a factual way in a film like this . I mean this is made and for people with an interest in cinematography , it’s not needed it distracts you can’t concentrate on what’s being said , and your industry people making this ffs

They should have cast younger actors to play the younger versions. Watching an 80-year-old Robert Denero stomp that guy who shoved his daughter was comical. It's a compelling story but the awful miss casting of the young versions of the characters constantly broke the experience for me.

It didn't even conveyed a fraction of information i expected.

Marvel movies did a great job of de-aging it's actors... Those non cinematic marvel... Movies

I was really disappointed . Even with all that great talents in movie , the movie was slow and did not live up to it's highly advertised campaign .

They all looked and moved like old men throughout the movie. I thought it was a boring vanity project of actors way past their prime. And why would you have German soldiers dig a grave if the order was to get back quickly? It would be faster to just drop them off down the line. That grave digging bit is also not in the book.

This movie was SURPRISINGLY not that great, it wasn't good at all during first viewing, and got a little better on second viewing. BUT SINCE WHEN HAS THAT BEEN THE STANDARD FOR MARTIN SCORSESE. Not well paced at all, it's not easy to tell what time period you're in and the best part was Pacino's but Jack Nicholson played a much better Hoffa. BUT Pacino was very good in it.

This movie is a mess. Actors in their 70s trying to play young men - it looks bizarre. The de-aging does not work at all. What the hell were they thinking?

“Ray Donovan” did this ALL better (and that went on too long... too!) On Paper it looked so good... but these are guys are ALL played out... Bobby D is a parody of himself twenty times over... Al Pacino got stuck in believing incoherence is acting... and even Pesci is trying to play against his “Goodfellows” iconic character without coming up something new...and Martin Scorsese has done this movie a dozen time over (competing with De Niro?) At one time Bobby D and Al Pacino were AMERICAN ACTING in the vein of James Dean - maybe it’s lucky that Jimmy died young - ‘cause these guys are not competing with Rocky and Nick Cage for the ENOUGH ALREADY Award.

De Nero was a disaster, pathetic performance, any talent he did have is well washed away.

it was boring. movie went downhill soon as hoffa character came in.
