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. Dan selects a work by Henri Matisse from the SMK collection. https://open.smk.dk/en/artwork/image/KMSr171 (Photographer: Lisa Ohlin) ---------- We invite you to subscribe to Danish Originals for weekly episodes.
