Let me indulge in oversaturated colors

Because of the extensive use of this film as an example in an academic paper to illustrate the point, I hurriedly watched "The Autumn Lady", which is a good example of color cinema and mise-en-scene. This paper is: Johnson, William. "Coming to terms with color." Film Quarterly (1966): 2-22.

In fact, it is not as exaggerated as Mr. William wrote. Many times, first look at the use of color in this paper in the paper. Art skills are praised and rendered, and then I go to the film to find relevant passages. No matter how many times I watch it, I can’t realize the magic that William said, so I can only say that David Bordwell’s research on film form art It is an extreme. Sometimes this form is not as beautiful as imagined, but rather deliberate.

William is right, compared to sound and wide screen technology, color film technology has developed for decades before it really matures, because sound only needs to be added, wide screen only needs to be adjusted, but the road from black and white to color film needs more. Multiple trials and technical support. In the 1950s, color film technology was truly mature and stable, but it would take until more rapeseed directors experimented with color narration before color could truly become an important element of the aesthetics of film form and attract people's attention and research.

The film is certainly an attempt at such an early form of bold experimentation with color. In addition to color, there is nothing good to say, but when it comes to color, it is also experimental, and it is hard to say whether it succeeds or fails. For the vanguard's sake, it's still gratifying. After all, when I photograph, I also like a kaleidoscope of more saturated colors.

    The most special thing about the movie is, of course, that all the dialogue has become vocal. However, the form of a musical film must be fixed, which will inevitably simplify the plot and exaggerate the suddenness of the details. The dull performance of Male No. 2 is basically negligible, but the film's use of warm colors such as red and purple is particularly bold, creating a fairytale-like bright and gentle effect. Embarrassingly, two years later, Cannes awarded Palme d’Or, the romantic drama "A Man and a Woman", which was also made in France.
