‘The Wrestler’ didn’t do it for me. So now comes ‘Big Fan’ – directed by the writer of ‘The Wrestler’ – and it’s kinda great.
Why?
Collaboration: ‘Big Fan’ is shot by Michael Simmonds – the cinematographer behind all of Ramin Bahrani’s films. Actually, behind is not the right word – as Ramin said when he was a guest on the show, Simmonds had a hand in the pics during pre-production, the actual shooting of course, and post.
Bahrani’s three brilliant films show how much he appreciates Simmond’s talent. On ‘Big Fan’ Michael Simmond’s photography elevates what would have been a small, melancholy little character study into a story that feels like a universal commentary on our U.S. in the midst of this Great Recession.
