The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Trailer Breakdown: 25 Things You Need To See
11. Amazingly Cheesy Zooms
Whilst he finds time for his own visual flourishes, the filmmaking of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. isn't going to be totally modern. In fact, from the looks of it a lot of the cinematography is inspired by the TV series and other sixties spy movies in the same way the clothes, plot, characters and music is. Case in point: the unbelievably cheesy yet retro-cool zoom the camera does when Armie Hammer's backstory is being read out. It's a totally old school move that you rarely seen in modern film grammar, another nod to the period setting.
