Description
Book SynopsisAccessible and inventive in its approach, Colour is the first monograph to deal with the close criticism of film colour across decades and countries.
Trade Review‘This book is a major contribution to the scholarship of film art. Each chapter develops and illuminates the range, significance and usage of colour in our understanding and experience of the particular films chosen and, in doing so, heightens our alertness to colour’s crucial significance for film aesthetics in general. The author’s extraordinary prose is a guide and companion in the appreciation of this complex and underexplored region of film art.’ -- .
