We Need to Talk About Kevin... (2011) Cinematography
I don't want to say too much about this Thriller/Horror film to limit spoilers but MAN what a gut punch it is. A mother's worst nightmare come true. If the story of Michael Myers were to be based on a true event, this film (if real) would be the source material lol. The cinematography is so subtle and clean that the untrained eye may not spot how beautifully shot it is.
I adore the framing/blocking of these 4 shots in particular.
The use of color is thrown at you from the start of the film and sets the tone of what's to come.
The reds continue throughout but the expression of it is quite different than the euphoric fun seen in the opening sequence.
Other colors are used to Express the emotional weight or lack of throughout as well.
If you're a horror/thriller fan, this movie is a must watch. It'll really get under your skin and even more if you're a parent. Thank me after you watch!
