It's well-recognised in some revolutionary Pacino cinematography (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iconic

'it's well-recognised' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'some revolutionary pacino cinematography' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' says the letters should be written backwards.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'cinoci' is hidden in the letters of 'pacino cinematography'.
'cinoci' reversed gives 'ICONIC'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for iconic that I've seen before include "Like a venerated image" , "of images" , "Representatively symbolic" , "Widely-recognised" , "highly symbolic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
