Colonoscopy cinematography consolidates immediacy as an intensified video style

Evidence

Colonoscopy cinematography may not yet be recognized as a great art of our moment, and indeed the Safdie brothers (directors) and Darius Khondji (cinematographer) were snubbed by the 2020 Oscars, but this incredible ninety-second sequence—compositing actual scope video, digital animation, microscopic gem photography, and 35mm film shot on locations—consolidates immediacy as video style. How close can the camera get? Not just sweat beads and skin imperfections, but orifice penetration and organ texture; not just tight shots in tiny spaces but jittering cuts jibing the lurching guts and racing pulse of the gambling protagonist. — Anna Kornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late…, 190
