Alexandre Desplat’s spare score is impeccable and Vinterberg’s regular DP, Anthony Dod Mantle, makes the confines of a sub both constricting and beautiful. On the one hand, this is a traditional tale of jeopardy, a rescue bid to save the lives of those who survive when an explosion sends a submarine to the seabed.According to The Hollywood Reporter, Russia's defense ministry originally promised cooperation with the crew to provide realism to the movie.
