This week, on a special episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, first-time director (and our friend) Rodrigo Prieto (Season 1, Episode 112) joins us to discuss PEDRO PÁRAMO, his adaptation of the iconic Mexican novel of the same name. Rodrigo starts by sharing how he came to direct the project in the first place and why he felt he could be the one to bring this story back to the screen decades after the previous adaptation. We later discuss the novel’s legacy within Mexico and Latin America, and we learn how the themes of the story informed many of Rodrigo’s creative choices, from casting to shot composition. Rodrigo also reveals what his biggest surprise was as a director, and he reflects on the naturalistic direction of his telling of the story while discussing the 1967 adaptation of the novel.⁠ ⁠ PEDRO PÁRAMO will be available worldwide on Netflix later this week. ⁠ ⁠ Listen in on Wednesday!⁠ -⁠ Recommended Reading: Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo ⁠ -⁠ Recommended Viewing: PEDRO PÁRAMO⁠ -⁠ ...
