I actually wanted to ask you about Molly’s Game. It was very exciting for a cinematographer, just to figure out, how do we approach this? And again, coming out of Aaron Sorkin’s great movie, Molly’s Game. A lot of the rhythm and tension comes from the sound design. We were very aware not to treat it like a silent movie, but a quiet movie. It’s not like music is going to take over.

It’s not a silent movie, but just a movie with very, very little dialogue. How does the visual language support the concept? There were a lot of discussions about that. Every movie has its own challenges, and obviously, this was an exciting challenge. In many ways, yes, especially just coming off an Aaron Sorkin movie, which was all about the words and all about the dialogue. Telling a story with long stretches of silence, is that a cinematographer’s dream? Recently, Christensen told us about filming some of those sequences, including Emily Blunt’s face-to-face encounter with an alien, her scream in the bath, and an intimate dance to Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon.”
By shooting on film, they got a warmth and lushness to the Upstate New York setting rarely captured on digital, which makes for a stark contrast to the film’s darker moments. Often with very few words, Krasinski and cinematographer Charlotte Bruus Christensen - who previously shot Molly’s Game, Fences, and The Hunt - crafted some powerful images that speak volumes.īoth Krasinski and Christensen were adamant A Quiet Place was shot on 35mm, even during the nighttime scenes.
Director John Krasinski’s ambitious horror movie was a true original studio movie, packed with images that can disturb or move an audience. Almost a year since its release, it’s hard to shake A Quiet Place.
