What does the cinematography of The Fisher King look like?
Across 63 sampled frames, The Fisher King builds its coverage from medium shots (32% of the sample), with close-ups (25%) carrying much of the rest. Low angles recur throughout. Cinematographer Roger Pratt keeps 48% of it in soft, low-key light. 49% of the frames play at night or in the failing light of dusk. Vintage glass shapes the frame. Focus stays shallow in 56% of the frames, isolating subjects from their surroundings. The production design places the film in the 1990s.
