“You’ll never take color for granted again after perusing Charles
Bramesco’s Colors of Film, which explores the palettes used in 50
iconic films through four eras of cinema. This book provides a
fascinating object lesson in how visual information wields
power.”

"Beautifully unique...Bramesco’s writing is enthusiastic and wise;
his book is a genuine delight."
*The Film Stage*
"Filled with sparkling insights and fascinating accounts from the
history of cinema, Colors of Film is an indispensable
guide to one of the most important visual elements in the medium of
film."
*BookTrib*
"Both a trenchant work of critical analysis and a dazzling coffee
table book, Colors of Film winds its way through film
history, stopping to note each time a use of color was innovated.
Douglas Sirk, Jacques Demy, and Dario Argento all get their due,
but there are also chapters on Tron: Legacy and, perhaps
most startlingly, Saw II. Colors of Film invites you
to gaze at the view and, in doing so, shows you a new, beautiful
film canon."
