B&W

I love well-cinematographed black and white films. They harken to theatre style of lighting.

The depth of field that you can see, the play with shadows and light.

Colour doesn't show that as well. For colour films that are filmed with film and not video, even if you see the focus and the blur in the background and you say to yourself, "Ah, so it's film and not video," there seems to be a more paltry sheen of flatness to it.


I especially love looking at still shots of black and white films because of the lighting.
