NOPEMOVIE cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema breaks down a few key scenes that play with the idea of how much we’re able to see. roxana_hadadi reports
Photo: Universal Pictures Jordan Peele’s new horror-comedy, Nope, stars Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer as Otis Jr. and Emerald, the sibling proprietors of Haywood’s Hollywood Horses. As they attempt to capture video evidence of a mysterious being attacking their ranch from the clouds, Nope stretches out like a camera’s bellows to the wide-open landscapes and cyclone-filled sky in a way that recalls The Wizard of Oz.
Photo: Universal Pictures The shots I’m particularly proud of are the exterior nights. We wanted specific things from them. Night shoots are always hard to achieve so a lot of engineering went into coming up with technology that would enable us to do things that normally wouldn’t have been possible. In a conventional horror film, the horror is very often in what you can’t see. And at the same time, it is that idea of something threatening being present in a very big expanse.
The Kid’s-Eye View Steven Yeun plays Jupe, a former child actor who witnessed a horrific chimpanzee attack on a sitcom set. As an adult, he lives next to the Haywoods and runs a western-themed amusement park. Nope recurrently visits that gruesome disaster, aligning our perspective with that of young Jupe as he hides under a table and focuses on a woman’s shoe that seemingly defies gravity by standing straight up.
The Black Cowboy As the descendants of the Black horse jockey who was captured in Eadweard Muybridge’s photographs that became one of cinema’s earliest moving -images, Nope’s Haywood family is simultaneously proud of their decades in Hollywood and frustrated by the racist microaggressions they still experience on the job. In the film’s final shot, OJ is framed as a western hero, visible through wispy fog and situated under an “Out Yonder” sign.
