Colour

Colour remains one of the few uncharted territories in writing about film style. Colour is the first monograph to deal with the close criticism of film colour across decades and countries. Through detailed explorations of films such as Three Colours: White and The Green Ray this study offers a way of approaching interpreting and appreciating cinematic colour. The book also considers film's ability to place colour in a shifting relationship with all other points of style including camerawork editing performance music and lighting. Accessible and inventive in its approach Colour invites the reader to see films differently providing a fresh perspective of this overlooked element of cinema aesthetics.
