The man, the myth, the legend has pulled off another masterpiece in the Villeneuve film, Sicario. Roger Deakins works with some recurring themes in this piece but also implements his well-known style. Sicario centers around a moral gray area, a blurred line of right and wrong. Using the lens’s focus, Deakins creates a moral slight-of-hand with the CIA agents; Focus here but not there. Secondly, the use of reflections, especially in mirrors, signifies how we the audience should contemplate our own moral boundaries as it relates to the characters.

An Ode to the Classics:
