Hollywoodland/Truth, Justice, and the American Way [Allen Coulter] c; 2uc: Kim Derko; s8 ph: Adrien Brody & Molly Parker; 'The parallel storylines provide director of photography Jonathan Freeman with the raw material for a rich visual tapestry. Throughout the film, Freeman uses contrast to emphasize the distinctions between the characters; Simo's world is often harshly lit, and the action in it is captured with handheld camerawork that conveys energy and instability, whereas the flashbacks depicting Reeves' life use fluid, elegant camera moves and have a glamorous sheen.'
