I need to watch them again, it would probably be Rouge, but that was the most popular one. , because Preisner's score and that last scene just destroy me every damn time. Add to the list: The Fountain  The Fountain looked pretty when Hugh Jackman wasn't meditating in front of that super obvious green screen at the end. |

I initially misread that as glazing, NicoNicoRose, and was disappointed that I couldn’t find any orange-and-teal donuts. |

Sanziana I saw Pierrot le Fou back in college (in a theater, luckily enough) and while it kind of became a grind to watch after a bit (I think it was the last Goddard I saw) parts of it haven’t left my mind since. Maybe it’s time to give it another try. Funnily enough, Pierrot le Fou annoyed me too first time I saw it, but it grew on me. I'd say Godard is an acquired taste; and Anna Karina is a big reason why I like him. Une Femme Est Une Femme is another good-looking film of his. Sample:  |

Forgot about this thread. Adding Parajanov's The Color of Pomegrantes.  And, Jean-François Laguionie's The Painting.  |

Hell I'd never even heard of the Painting - my Jean-François Laguionie knowledge pretty much begins and ends with Gwen. Must check that out. |

Douay-Rheims-Challoner I remember being annoyed at the sort of forced whimsy conveyed in The Painting’s trailers, though they were just trailers (and Anglophone ones at that) so maybe that impression shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

Jean-Luc Lemur Well his other film discussed here, Gwen, at least, is very far from whimsical. This fragment is fairly typical of its restrained tone.

A good example of gorgeous movies with muted colors would be Moon:  |

   One could be forgiven for assuming these are not actually stills from a movie, but they are - Belladonna of Sadness, which I recently learned got a full 4K restoration based on its 35mm print and is actually being released with English subtitles legally for the first time in its history later this year. |

I've watched a lot of Ingmar Bergman movies lately, and I must say I love this miserable bastard more than even Almodovar, with his perpetual existential crisis, his buried, angry passions and penchant for overanalyzing. Actually, he and Almodovar are not that different; they both deal with similar themes but their method is completely opposite. They both write women very well, much better than others. Their women are not these idealized, mystical nymphs, but actual human beings who are allowed to be petty, flawed, strong, ferocious and bitter. Bergman is lucky to have found a perfect partner in Sven Nykvist, his movies always look perfect, the atmosphere of his films are characters of their own. I love his intensity and his stubbornness to be as honest and as raw as possible with all his movies. Some of his films might look a bit theatrical to the modern eye, but there's this strong center striped of all artifice present in all of them that draws you in. Cries and Whispers

I discovered this Tunisian director called Nacer Khemir who directed 3 movies suffused with the kind of beauty that hurts. They are so amazing I just had to share them. Wanderers in the Desert  "In the end, no matter what road we are on, or even if we follow no road, we are all wanderers in the desert." The Dove's Lost Necklace    Bab'Aziz "Sweep with your soul, before your beloved's door. Only then will you become her lover." |

This video touches on a lot of movies already discussed here, but after the first couple of minutes, they start discussing color palettes and examples of movies that use them. It also reminds me of how much I love looking at Wong Kar-Wai's movies, and stuff with a neon or jewel palette in general.

Jean-Luc Lemur I've been meaning to watch that movie for years now. It looks so amazing. Maybe it sounds silly, but I always put it off because I don't think I'm ready for it.

Sanziana I nearly walked out of it, actually—early on there’s a fair amount of real animal torture (a snake in particular), so while I’m glad I stuck through it—and it is very good—I’m not seeing it again.

I am surprised that in a thread which early on had "House of Flying Daggers," no one's mentioned "Hero" yet. HoFD was visually beautiful (though I really didn't like the story), but "Hero" was practically a movie about the use of color. I thought someone had, but I was wrong. This is another one of those 'didn't care for the storyline, but it sure is purty' films. |

I liked Hero myself, though I get that others didn't so much. HoFD was just incomprehensible and silly towards the end. (Don't, like 5 people come back from seemingly being dead?)
