New Century College Associate Professor Lesley Smith has published a review of Hossein Amini's movie, The Two Faces of January, in PopMatters.
"Much of the pleasure in The Two Faces of January emerges from the restrained, expressive cinematography of Danish-born director of photography, Marcel Syskind. From the classical creams and taupes of the opening scenes in the Parthenon and Athens through the sunburned, shadeless interior of Crete to the hyper-stylized blues and bronzes of nighttime Istanbul, Syskind’s palette melds with emotional states," writes Lesley Smith. "His control of light and shadow in capturing his actors in different moods lifts the movie from clever thriller to subtle psychological study."
