Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004 Alfonso Cuaron)

Not much to add to this. Apart from a scene-stealing turn from Emma Thompson, David Thewlis makes a great impression as Lupin.

Two fabulous touches. A wind swept umbrella blowing through the sky before the Dementor attack. A huge giraffe that walks through several of the paintings.


Long takes. Michael Seresin's photography gives it a wonderful look. Also, Cuaron's playing around with all sorts of distorting lenses and tricks which in a funny way take it right back to the silent days..
