Okay so there were thing I liked and didn't like about this film but it was the visuals that really grabbed me. Everything shot at night looked brilliant.
Can anyone recommend me films or tv shows that have a similar look to them? I'm working on a bit of a project and could use some inspiration in line with the look of this film.
Bladerunner, Taxi Driver, certain scenes of Firefox (sounds wierd I know, but beleive me, there is great cinematography hidden in there). Also, in terms of lighting, anything Roger Deakins does can be studied and learnt from.
That's the one. Overall the movies is watchable at best, but the cinematography, especially in a certain bathroom scene in a Russian train station, is quite impressive throughout.
I might have to revisit the film sometime then. I initially wrote the whole thing off for being surprisingly kind of boring, though I partially remember the bathroom scene you're talking about, and I seem to recall it as one of the better parts.
The gaudy color aesthetic of OGF reminded me a bit of Dario Argento (particularly Suspiria) and Mario Bava. If you want to watch recent films that look like it, I would recommend Enter the Void and Beyond the Black Rainbow.
