There were so many incredibly shot films this year that narrowing it down to 10 wasn’t easy. What follows is not an attempt the highlight the best-looking movies of the year, but the ones that used cinematography most effectively in building expressive, cinematic worlds. This list embraces exploration of form, creative use of limitations, and overcoming challenges with craft and innovation. Often, the awards-season narrative for below-the-line talent is scale and the most obvious use of craft; here, the focus is how form can be used to elicit emotion and tell a story. These are 10 films that do that exceeding well.
10. “A Ghost Story”
A movie made with a small group of friends, shot in small house over a small number of days, is not supposed to be this visually big. But just like David Lowery’s film itself, cinematographer Andrew Droz Palermo finds incredible depth and beauty in the simplicity of “A Ghost Story.

The gravitational pull that exists between great directors and great cinematographers is natural. Many of the best pairings throughout film history have been project based, with the director or producer picking a cinematographer to achieve a specific look for a particular film. There’s a difference between providing a talented cinematographer with the perfect platform to apply their skills and a director-cinematographer collaboration that elevates the work of both artists, regardless of material.
This list is less about identifying the best looking films of the era – although many are here – and more about celebrating collaborations that have allowed many of the best filmmakers working today to fully express themselves on the big screen.

Cinematography is tough to judge on its own merits, because it can be hard to extract it from the other powers of great visual storytelling. At the same time, every beautiful movie shows the signature of a talented director of photography as much as a filmmaker. In the process of considering the finest cinematographic achievements of this decade, this list includes on gorgeous films that — in some cases — achieve more on the level of cinematography than anything else. The past two decades have found the craft of cinematography making extraordinary advances on the level of digital technologies and other innovations, but at the end of the day, these particulars matter less than the sheer impression left by the images and movements captured by cinematographers operating at the peak of their abilities. Here are some of the best examples from this young century.

Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, director of the perceptive and unjustly maligned “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl,” is a young, thoughtful filmmaker with an inventive visual imagination and a very bright future ahead of him. That being said, something clearly went very, very wrong during the making of “The Current War.” A lifeless period drama about the rivalry between two of America’s greatest geniuses, Gomez-Rejon’s lavish third feature unfolds like a more historically accurate riff on “The Prestige,” albeit one lacking even a trace amount of magic (Nikola Tesla factors in, however, and Nicholas Hoult’s performance pays tribute to David Bowie).
The initial aim, however, may have been closer to “Hamilton.” First conceived as a stage musical by eventual screenwriter Michael Mitnick, “The Current War” tells the story of the race to light up the world. It begins, rather inexplicably, in December of 1880, after Thomas Alva Edison (a...

It’s official: NBC is only launching three new shows this fall, and one of them isn’t technically new — it’s the return of “Will & Grace,” the full trailer for which will premiere on Monday morning. But with the reveal of its fall schedule, NBC also debuted trailers for its two other new originals, which we’ve reviewed and ranked below.
“The Brave”
One of those unfortunate upfronts trailers that spells out the entire plot of the pilot episode, twist by twist (right down to the happy ending). But given that the premise of the series formally known as “For God and Country” hinges on a more procedural approach — every week, theoretically, there will be another victim in a dangerous part of the world for this elite military unit to save — that’s not too grievous an offense. And what this trailer does do well is establish some of the team’s quirks,...

The Handmaiden (Park Chan-wook)
The Handmaiden is pure cinema — a tender, moving, utterly believable love story. It’s also a tense, unsettling, erotic masterpiece. There’s a palpable exhilaration that comes from watching this latest film from Park Chan-wook. From its four central performances and twisty script to the cinematography of Chung Chung-hoon and feverish, haunting score by Cho Young-wuk, The Handmaiden is crafted to take your breath away.

We could be looking at the best King adaptation since ‘The Mist.’
If you’re like me, well first off congratulations, but more relevantly, the announcement of a feature film adaptation of Stephen King’s epic horror novel, It, probably left you feeling conflicted. On the one hand, more King adaptations and horror films in general are undeniably good things. On the other though, that’s a lot of book to cram into a feature film, and we already have a fairly competent mini-series adaptation as well.
Plus — and I may be alone on this one — I don’t love the novel. To clarify, the parts involving the kids work really well, but the book as a whole just bites it when that goddamn intergalactic turtle shows up. It stops the story and the scares dead cold.
The film went through a few different creative hands, some more promising than others, before...

20th Century Women (Mike Mills)
That emotional profundity most directors try to build to across an entire film? Mike Mills achieves it in every scene of 20th Century Women.

No Korean movie has ever won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Of course, that might have something to do with the fact that no Korean movie has ever been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In other words, Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” — which won a little gold man for Best Art Direction in 2010 — has more Oscars to its name than the entire country of Korea or anyone from it.
That’s odd and rather damning given the self-evident strength of the country’s national cinema, which has been invaluable since long before Shin Sang-ok’s “My Mother and the Roomer” was chosen as their first Oscar submission in 1962. It’s become only more visible on the world stage thanks to the emotionally operatic, auteur-driven melodramas that have defined the Korean New Wave over the last 18 years.

Filmmaker Park Chan-Wook is a visual storyteller who has consistently worked on a level that is completely all his own throughout his entire career. His ability to gracefully traverse often challenging cinematic terrain is unsurpassed, and his latest film, The Handmaiden, is a sumptuous caper steeped in raw sexuality, tackling the destructive nature of patriarchal oppression and celebrating the power of women as his intricate tale of deceit and thievery unfolds in three parts.
The Handmaiden follows Sook-Hee (Kim Tae-ri), a young woman who comes from a long line of grifters, who is hired by the diabolical Count Fujiwara (Ha Jung-woo) to act as a handmaiden to the wealthy Lady Hideko (Kim Min-hee), who he plans to seduce, marry, and steal from after having her committed to an asylum shortly after their nuptials. Sook-Hee travels to the estate of Hideko’s Uncle Kouzuki (Jo Jin-woong), where the heiress has resided...

Ja-sung is an undercover police officer, who has ascended the ranks of the crime syndicate to which he was assigned, to the point of becoming the right hand of the number 2 in the hierarchy, named Jung Chung. However, when the number 1 is killed, the syndicate engulfs in a power struggle for the top position, between Jung Chung and Joong-gu, which eventually escalates into war. Ja-sung, who was to retire soon, must now keep acting in his role, since his operator named Kang Hyung-chul is set on influencing the leader’s selection, putting a puppet of his at the top of the syndicate. The fact brings tension between the two.

Park Chan-wook has often iterated his conviction that vengeance is a topic ripe for infinite cinematic treatments. Following the conclusion of his trilogy dedicated to the subject – Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance – he largely moved on. (Although Stoker did use elements of revenge to drive the narrative along, it didn’t constitute the film’s central preoccupation.) But now he’s back and his thematic ambition is greater than ever. In The Handmaiden, an adaptation of Sarah Waters’ novel Fingersmith, the target of his heroines’ vengeance is none other than the patriarchy. Those familiar with Park’s earlier work will know that he’s hardly the most subtle of filmmakers, and his approach to gender politics here is risible, even self-contradictory. His customary prowess as a stylist and knack for constructing and navigating intricate plots, on the other hand, is once again put to good use.

Turns out Detective Olivia Benson may be doing more to prevent sexual assault offscreen than on.
A new study from the Journal of Health Communication has determined that viewers of Law & Order were less likely to accept common rape myths and more likely to adhere to expressions of consent and refuse unwanted sexual activity.
The findings build on previous studies from 2011 and 2013 that showed exposure to crime dramas in general had positive effects on attitudes and behaviors around consent. So for this one, the study authors decided to specifically discover which crime shows had the most positive benefits to viewers.

Everyone’s favorite meddling kids are being remixed for a whole new generation. The new 22-minute animated comedy “Be Cool, Scooby Doo” is the eleventh reboot of the 1969 original and will debut this fall on Time Warner’s newly revamped Boomerang network. The show will focus on the gang after they graduate from high school and hit the road in the Mystery Machine. Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, Velma and Scooby will still solve strange and silly cases but they’ll also share more of their own desires and feelings than in past incarnations. In that vein, here are a few other au courant twists Time Warner and company should consider: Make like “The Wire” and the tell villains’ side of the story Perhaps the bad guy pretending to be the 10,000 Volt Ghost was a victim of the foster care system and the rapscallion who pretended to be Charlie the Robot is secretly pursuing an Mba.

Yep, you read that headline right: There was a lot going on in Svu last night. Just how much? About as much as was stuffed into 2013's biggest kitchen-sink episode, "American Tragedy"—a smorgasbord that included takes on Paula Deen, Trayvon Martin, stop-and-frisk, and even "Blurred Lines." The latest entry in the Svu canon—which aired almost exactly one year after "American Tragedy"—was a similarly chock-full affair, complete with an analogous title ("American Disgrace"), another big-name guest star (Stacy Keach as a Donald Sterling-esque billionaire), and the same disingenuous opening title card: "The following story is fictional and does...

When you name a thriller Stoker, you immediately have people concluding it has something to do with Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, and therefore maybe the movie involves vampires. The film’s characters address that at one point but let’s stipulate that there are no members of the undead here. Instead, we have a stylish, noirsh film that marks a mostly successful American debut for Korean director Chan-Wook Park. Starring Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman, and Matthew Goode, it’s an uncomfortable story of family. India Stoker (Wasikowska) has just lost her father, shattering their close bonds. Distraught, she is withdrawn, and initially shrinks further within Goth herself when Uncle Charlie (Goode) turns up and comes to live with her and her mother Evelyn (Kidman). In her eighteen years, India has never heard of an Uncle Charlie and more, what she begins to hear strikes her as fantastic and contradictory.

The bloody soap opera Stoker is Park Chan-wook’s first Hollywood movie, and if you’re unfamiliar with the Korean director’s work, you’re in for a real kick. Park’s vampire opus Thirst and his acclaimed Oldboy established the director’s cult status among fans of offbeat foreign crime films and while no one eats a live octopus in Stoker, he’s brought his novel style to this psychosexual thriller about the dysfunctional Stoker family. After her father (Dermot Mulroney) dies on her 18th birthday, India Stoker’s (Mia Wasikowska) long-lost Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode) comes to visit. He’s welcomed into the family’s sprawling Connecticut mansion by India’s beautiful, unstable mother Evie (Nicole Kidman), but India’s not quite as quick to embrace this relative that she never knew she had. Charlie’s wholesome facade hides sinister intentions and India recognizes something’s not quite...

Were the task of Americanizing a modern Korean masterpiece not daunting enough already, the looming remake of Oldboy now has to stand toe-to-toe with not just the original film, but also Park Chan-wook’s newest feature, Stoker, which is something of a long lost sister to Oldboy. Chan-wook’s first English language film trades the neon-lit smog of downtown Korea for the deciduous overgrowth of Appalachia, and takes more cues from Victorian horror than Japanese manga. Despite the differences in aesthetics though, you’d be forgiven for thinking Chan-wook’s western debut is so comfortably within his established ballpark, it borders on self-plagiarism.
Oldboy followed alcoholic office drone, and negligent father, Oh Dae-su, who, for unknown reasons, is imprisoned in a hotel room for fifteen years. Left to wonder what crime he must have committed to deserve such punishment, he trains rigorously, so that he might take fifteen years, and then some,...

Park Chan-wook needs no introduction to any longtime Twitch reader or fan of 21st century Korean cinema. With Stoker, his first English-language film, it is very likely that his star will shine even brighter and higher for even more of the world to see. Our friend in NYC The Lady Miz Diva was fortunate enough to sit down for a 1:1 with Director Park wherein they discussed Westerns, Josh Brolin, oh, and yes, they got really deep into the story of Stoker, so I've gone ahead and added spoiler tags for those that don't want the movie ruined. So with that, Park Chan-wook! The Lady Miz Diva: Stoker is one of your most visually beautiful films. Did having your longtime collaborator, cinematographer Chung Chung-hoon working...

Though of course I am looking forward to my front row seat on the beach during the “eye candy” matinee during the day, there’s nothing like getting together with your girly-boys on a nice relaxing night, sipping on wine and watching some fierce Lifetime competition on and off the runway.
Obviously, I highly enjoy watching truly talented designers showing off their craft by creating something completely stunning out of almost nothing. And in today’s fashion world, there is a surge of talented designers far beyond the realty television realm that have made a name for themselves in this industry.
