My Take
Rodrigo Prieto is, to me, one of the great unsung authors of modern cinema. Born in Mexico City in 1965, he has shot for Martin Scorsese and Alejandro González Iñárritu, and belongs to both the Mexican and American Societies of Cinematographers. Cinematographers work invisibly, yet they shape a film's emotional temperature more than almost anyone. What I value in Prieto is restraint: he does not flaunt technique, he lets light serve the story. His cross-border standing speaks to a craft that transcends nationality. He is the kind of artist whose presence on a credit list makes me trust that the images will mean something.
