The Road

Watched the film The Road again tonight and notice for the first time the degree to which colour (or lack of it) adds to feel of desolation, cold and bleakness.

The almost exclusive use of greys and browns gives the film an unearthly feel. When the cellar is found that contained forgotten supplies, colour is again present, returning life to normality.

Lack of colour unbalances the world and creates a surreal, disturbing place.
