## Caption

In “Nickel Boys,” the Oscar-nominated film based on Colson Whitehead’s novel of the same name, viewers are forced to put themselves in the protagonists’ shoes. The audience sees what the characters see, because it’s filmed from the main character’s point of view. “When [the actors] came on set,” director RaMell Ross said, “they were actually a bit surprised that their scene partner was the camera operator.” In the first episode of our special series devoted to Oscar-nominated films adapted from books, Ross breaks down one of the film’s most memorable scenes. Listen to the full interview on “The Book Review Podcast” at the link above. #NickelBoys #RaMellRoss #movies #oscars
