SVU #138: The Handmaid’s Tale / Female Cinematographers

May 23, 2017 / Guest User

Does Hulu’s THE HANDMAID’S TALE deserve the hype it’s been getting as the most frighteningly timely series on streaming? In this episode of SVU, Matt and Alison discuss the new Margaret Atwood adaptation and how it attempts, via its visuals, to depicts its horrors as experience rather than spectacle. Then, in honor of the show’s main director, cinematographer-turned-filmmaker Reed Morano, they recommend work featuring other female cinematographers, all of it available to rent or stream right now.

This episode of Filmspotting: SVU is brought to you by Movies On Demand On Cable, Blue Apron and go90.
