Bashi-Bazouk. Who are you, what are you? – A Film Review of Beyond the Black Rainbow. If Andre Tarkovsky, Stanley Kubrick and George Lucas had collaborated to create an über strange art house sci-fi film it would most likely resemble the inner workings of Beyond the Black Rainbow. Canadian filmmaker Panos Cosmatos’ first feature film is an amalgamation of the ethereal crawl of Solaris, set in a Kubrickian vision of the future with a plot akin to THX 1138.

I, for one, have been coloring non-stop since my Grandpa sat me down on the front step, put earmuffs on me, threw some crayons in my lap and told me to just color and color. No matter what I might hear, even when Nana asks me to call the police and that there’s a string cheese in it for me, no matter what, just keep coloring…keep coloring.

My grandpa was very supportive. I really owe it all to him. Anyway, this article is about color, but more importantly, light. We will be discussing how to observe color. Before we get into the examples, let’s get our terms straight. *Chroma and Saturation are effectively the same thing. That’s how to say it fancy. The first thing I’ll say is that we need to unlearn the way we see color. Anyway, we’re pattern-seeking mammals.
