How does Almodóvar achieve the look of his films? It’s in the details, he says. ’My directors of photography light my films, but the colours of the sets, furnishings, clothes, hairstyles – that’s me. Everything that’s in front of the camera, I bring you. I work through intuition, like a painter with a canvas, building it up. All the lights, colours, sets, clothes – they represent elements in the narrative, the story I’m telling. Of course I want my films to look really good, but every single element is chosen for a reason. It’s telling something in the story.’ He shrugged. ‘That may not always be clear for the average spectator. It’s more for me.’ (via)
