My Take

Anthony Dod Mantle fascinates me because cinematographers rarely get their due, yet he reshaped how movies look. An Oxford-born Englishman who threw himself into Denmark's Dogme 95 movement, he became digital filmmaking's great evangelist long before it was fashionable. His Slumdog Millionaire Oscar was historic as one of the first for a largely digitally shot film, and his ability to move between Lars von Trier's austerity and Danny Boyle's kinetic energy shows astonishing range. I respect craftspeople who change the grammar of their medium quietly, from behind the lens. Mantle is a genuine pioneer, and his fingerprints are on a whole era of visual storytelling.

Overview

Anthony Dod Mantle (born 14 April 1955) is an English cinematographer, known as a pioneer of digital filmmaking through his collaborations with directors Lars von Trier, Thomas Vinterberg, Danny Boyle, and Kevin Macdonald. During the 1990s, he was a figure in the Dogme 95 movement.
