Giovanni Ribisi joins The Playlist’s Bingeworthy Podcast to discuss MGM+’s “American Hostage,” the true story of Tony Kiritsis, working opposite Jon Hamm, and his increasingly serious work as a cinematographer.
Ribisi explains how he approached playing Kiritsis, the Indianapolis man who held mortgage broker Richard “Dick” Hall hostage for 63 hours with a sawed-off shotgun wired to his neck, and why he resisted reducing him to a madman. He also talks about shooting intense phone conversations with Hamm in real time and learning just days before production that Gus Van Sant was making “Dead Man’s Wire,” another Tony Kiritsis project starring Bill Skarsgård, Al Pacino, and Colman Domingo.
The conversation also covers Ribisi’s cinematography work on “Strange Darling,” his collaboration with Panavision engineers on vintage VistaVision cameras, Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another,” and why he believes audiences can still see and feel the difference between film and digital cinematography.
