To Bathe in Filmic Waters

To Bathe in Filmic Waters regularly contributes to a hip, new, UK-based film magazine called The Big Picture.

Alternatively, and for our international readers, you can actually download each issue directly from the website. This, the fifth and latest issue of The Big Picture, is published to coincide with the triumphant return to British cinemas of directorial duo Powell and Pressburger’s colourful classic The Red Shoes – recently restored and to be shown in theaters nationwide from the 11th of December. This month, and in honour of Powell and Pressburger’s most famous work, The Big Picture takes up a central theme of dreaming in colour. The issue highlights some of the best uses of colour in film history, including the likes of The Adventures of Robin Hood, which is described as a “true masterpiece of colour” by Scott Jordan Harris in his article Hard Target. He also lists such films as Jean-Luc Godard’s Le Mépris, Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo and Krzysztof Kieslowski’s Three Colours Trilogy as efforts that should be admired for their use of colour.
