Pinoy Cinematographer Matthew Libatique Lenses "A Star is Born"

He served as Director of Photography for Darren Aronofsky’s daring films Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, Noah, Black Swan and, most recently, mother!  Now, Oscar-nominated cinematographer, Filipino-American Matthew Libatique lenses director Bradley Cooper’s critically-acclaimed romantic drama, A Star is Born.

In this new take on the iconic love story, Cooper and Lady Gaga fuse their considerable talents to depict the raw and passionate tale of Jack and Ally, two artistic souls coming together, on stage and in life.  Theirs is a complex journey through the beauty and the heartbreak of a relationship struggling to survive.

It was important to Bradley Cooper that A Star is Born’s cinematic style have a first-person perspective, with the hope of giving the audience the ability to experience the intoxicating energy of performing live before a crowd. 

A Star Is Born - Emotional Encounter Of Music And Movies

The wait for Lady Gaga to star in her starring role is indeed over with the perfect material for her, a story with music, stardom, and drama. A Star Is Born had been brought to many live in the past and now found its way to 2018 starring Mother Monster and Bradley Cooper. But let us take a moment to see that with his film, Lady Gaga completely sheds her pop star skin to grow a new kind of musical idol within her and owning it.

This film is also a first for Bradley Cooper for his directorial debut. He has been nominated for the Academy Awards as an actor, and there could be a possibility that this one could also get him a directorial nomination. The film feels like a complete album coming to life with all the love, heartbreaks, struggles, passion, and some profanity along the way. 

Basically the gist of the story is boy meets girl, fell in love, made music together, girl becomes more famous than guy then it can now progress into more complicated and darker things after that. Even though I haven't seen one of past remakes, this one proved to be worthy of rich music that transcends into many genres and styles.
