Coming off of The Color Purple (2023), Helsingør-born Oscar-nominated Danish cinematographer DAN LAUSTSEN talks about shooting the musical in Savannah, Georgia. Dan describes his work as both technical and creative with the sole goal to help the director tell the story, and retraces his steps from the National Film School of Denmark in the '70s, to working in the U.S with directors Ole Bornedal, Guillermo del Toro, Chad Stahelski, and Blitz Bazawule, respectively.----------For today's episode, Dan Laustsen chose Henri Matisse's Portræt af Madame Matisse: Den Grønne Stribe, or Portrait of Madame Matisse: The Green Line, from 1905 from the collection of the National Gallery of Denmark.https://open.smk.dk/en/artwork/image/KMSr171 ----------Photographer: Lisa Ohlin----------This conversation with Tina Jøhnk Christensen occurred on December 7, 2023.----------We invite you to subscribe to Danish Originals for weekly episodes.
