Take This Waltz



One of my favorite films shot on color is Sarah Polley’s Take This Waltz. Throughout the piece, the characters wear complementary colors to show how vibrant the characters are when they are together. Michelle Williams’ and Luke Kirby’s characters are always seen wearing blue and orange-red together. So all of the scenes they do together, make them look vibrant which matches the characters’ passion for one another. The film is also shot with warm lightening which creates this sun set feel. This sun set effect matches one of the themes of the film of being stuck between two places. A sun set is in between day and night. The whole film just feels warm and organic because of these color pallets.
