Bruno Delbonnel, ASC, AFC, (born 1957) is a French cinematographer, known for works from a number of high-profile directors,[1] including Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Tim Burton, the Coen brothers, Joe Wright and Wes Anderson.

Life and career

[edit]

Delbonnel was born in Nancy, Meurthe-et-Moselle, France and graduated in 1978 from the ESEC (Paris, Île-de-France).

Delbonnel's accolades include a César Award and a European Film Award, as well as six Academy Award nominations and four BAFTA Award nominations.

He was appointed in 2019 as the head of the cinematography department of the Paris film school, La Fémis.[2][3]

Style

[edit]

His work tends to feature very stylized color palettes, often very warm and featuring yellows and greens as prominent and ubiquitous colors which often tint the whole image. Also often in his work, the film stock has a very apparent, well-defined grain structure.
