Use of color in films has always been of keen interest to me.
Almodovar is quite skilled in his use of it.
Also check out the Chinese films of Zhang Yimou (my personal favorite director) - Qui Ju; Ju Duo; Raise the Red Lantern; Shanghai Triad, and many others.
Also check out Kieslowski's (sp?) trilogy White, Red, and Blue.
Isn't it interesting that profound and vibrant use of color, though it can often be found in foreign films, is usually reserved for "cartoonish" US movies like Batman.
A notable exception is The Hudsucker Proxy.
Fell free to e-mail me if you have any comments- this is just about my favorite topic in film.
