Michael Mann Public Enemies Interview If Public Enemies was your favourite Michael Mann film, then here are some additional interviews that may be of interest.

A tweeter posted this link, so I thought I would share it. It is worth watching, as it does in a very brief way, evoke something of what Public Enemies essentially communicates to its audience. It is, I think, a valuable message worth watching, appropriately conveying the emptiness of public retribution… See link here.

About 95% of Public Enemies was shot with the Sony F23. Do you fall weak at the knees whenever you see a gorgeous…. camera? If so, then we are alike. I love cameras (and yes, I would love a RED). We all know they are a workers tool, and nothing more. But a workman gets […]

The link below takes you to a shot of Michael Mann on the shoot, but there are some other interesting shots of crew and their equipment, all amongst the throng of in costume extras shots.
