It seems somehow surprising that Oscar-winning filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu and lauded veteran cinematographer Darius Khondji had never worked together before collaborating on Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths. But when they finally did come together on what would become Mexico’s entry for the Best International Feature Oscar, there was an instant melding of the minds and a true feeling of kinship, with each telling me they felt as if they’d discovered a brother they’d never met.
Khondji, who recently won the Silver Frog at Cameraimage for Netflix’s Bardo, recounted that Iñárritu called him “completely out of the blue form the other side of the world and told me about this film he was making. From the first calls we had, it put me in a certain kind of mood. … The way he was talking about it, there was something very familiar, like somebody from my family, like a young uncle or young brother was calling me. He started opening a door that made me enter this other world.”
And that was all before Khondji had even read a word of the story. When he ultimately received it, he said he felt: “I haven’t read a script like that — like Apocalypse Now — where you go into a journey. This movie was a journey, and of course I took the first plane to Mexico to join Alejandro.”
For Iñárritu, Khondji “always has been one of my favorite DPs in the world because I think on all films that he does, he is an incredible painter. He is not only a very eclectic photographer, but I think as an artist he is somebody who understands truly what a film needs and puts his art on that spirit.”
Khondji has worked with such filmmakers as David Fincher, James Gray, Woody Allen, Danny Boyle, Michael Haneke and Bong Joon-ho.
