Beautiful Features

AMÉLIE (2001)

I thought it was a sweet film and, visually, incredibly clever. It was doing something fresh and new with its color palette — which is why I hired [Amélie cinematographer] Bruno Delbonnel to shoot Across the Universe.

See what Taymor admires in a scene from Amélie:

BABEL (2006)

I was really shaken by it. [Alejandro González] Iñárritu makes beautiful films. And, obviously, I very much like [cinematographer] Rodrigo Prieto [who previously shot Frida].
