Kagemusha perhaps? Kurosawa used paintings as storyboards and it really shows in how fantastically painter-like it was.
Surprised you haven't added Hugo yet! :)
Badlands is beautiful also.
lola - fassbinder
tron - lisberger
I didn't initially intend this to be an exclusive list, but when it reached 100 i added that to the title, will add another film..
Yehey!!! 3 films by Kieslowski are in!!!! Where's In the mood for Love and 2046????
Too many to choose from, and Zhang, a colour master, is already quite well represented
Hero (Zhang Yimou) maybe as your 101th film?
Kenji, there are so many of my favorites here, that I want to see the ones that I haven't pronto!
Anatole Litvar's Anastatia makes very good use of color.
Antonioni's Red Desert? he practically painted the scenery to get the right colours
thanks for that suggestion, i've not seen it, but it is on my rental list
Oooh, i thought i had Vertigo- of course essential- but did already have The Conformist. In fact Marnie makes an interesting pair with Vertigo, for its colour schemes too
Hitchcock 's Vertigo and Bertolucci's The Conformist are notably lacking but great list in general. I loved the additions of Don't Look Now, Godard's early technicolor films and The Flower of my Secret.
'She wore a Yellow Ribbon' or 'The Searchers' would be good additions.
Nice list! I'm also going to second "The Fall", along with "Baraka" and Tarkovsky's "Stalker".
excllent suggstions, i'm surprised i didn't have them on already!
Awesome list! I have two to add: Contempt and Suspiria.
how about 'the fall' ?
also check out meenaxi by mf hussain.
Yes, Christopher, i've already got The End of Summer of the Ozu colour films, but did think of Floating Weeds too (and with cinematography by the great Miyagawa), and Javier yes Pistol Opera is another goodie i was thinking of.
Ozu's "Floating Weeds" or really any of his color films!
I'd suggest "Pistol opera" and "Antonio Das Mortes".
I saddly have to say that "Kagemusha" could be a perfect example, but some scenes lack the rigorous colour concept that other parts of the film do have.
I miss "El sol del membrillo" here. I think that film has no colour at all, but magically, lights come and go, in front of our very eyes.. and colour just appears. That's it's colour concept I guess.
ah yes, good suggestions, i originally intended Cries and Whispers and was thinking of including Malick (could be more than one) just when i went out.
Great idea for a list. I also suggest to include "Nostalghia for the Contryside", "Juliet of the Spirits" and "Days of Heaven".
