How ‘Slow Horses’ Cinematographer Danny Cohen Filmed An “Anti-Spy Thriller”
14.06.2022 - 22:13 / deadline.com
Most spy thrillers rely on action-oriented scenes with flashy camera movements, but Slow Horses presented a different option that interested cinematographer Danny Cohen. In what Cohen calls an “anti-spy thriller”, the challenge was to pull back on the flashy moves to highlight the dialogue and acting.
Slow Horses follows a team of British intelligence agents sent from MI5 to “Slough House” after making career-ending mistakes. In the third episode “Bad Tradecraft,” which is the episode submitted for Emmy consideration, Lamb (Gary Oldman) and Taverner (Kristin Scott Thomas) have a clandestine meeting on a bench next to the river.
Most of the series is shot at night, which Cohen says is actually easier to manage. With the ability to “sculpt the light” without having to worry about cloud coverage blocking the sun, he found it easier to enhance the gritty atmosphere of the series.
DEADLINE: What drew you to work on Slow Horses?
DANNY COHEN: What really attracted me to Slow Horses, is that it’s kind of an anti-spy thriller. We weren’t trying to make London or the characters look sexy and beautiful, so it lent itself towards a much grittier, harder look. I don’t think Gary Oldman’s character ever changes his clothes and Slough House hasn’t been decorated since the cold war…. The direction the cinematography needed to go towards was to make London look hard and rainy and cold and miserable, and I think all of that adds to the atmosphere.
DEADLINE: So the third episode, “Bad Tradecraft”, is the one that was selected for consideration. What excited you about the cinematography of that episode?
COHEN: For me, one of the really interesting scenes was with Jackson Lamb and Taverner. So Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas are sitting on
