To inform my essay I have looked at a few films that use colour in an interesting way. One that has always interested me is Amelie (2001). The colour in the film almost becomes a character of it’s own, the use of green used sparingly but to pin point key moments. “The director opts for a sort of golden ambiance married with deep, carefully chosen colors. The world of the film thus looks realistic enough, though in an antique sort of way, but also has an unreal “once upon a time” layer covering the realism”
Amélie
