The Green Knight (2021), dir. David Lowery

Chiaroscuro (kjaro'sku:ro) lit. "light-dark," chiaroscuro is the Renaissance composition style where lightness and darkness are used in stark, frequently startling contrast. Popularized by Caravaggio (1571-1610) to such an extent that in later Baroque art it became known as caravaggism or, alternatively, tenebrism, the style immediately draws the eye to the main subject, who is often highlighted by just one light source.

Then, there’s the yellow cloak that Patel wears as he embarks on his odyssey, which serves as one of the film’s most striking and symbolic visual features, and a rare splash of color within cinematographer Andrew Droz Palermo’s moody palette of grays and dusky, mottled greens. “The cloak was described as yellow on the script, but we were looking for the right shade of yellow,” says Turzanska. “We ended up picking one that is essentially the color of gorse, this invasive Irish plant that was all over the place. So it was kind of nice that we were connecting the landscape to the costumes in that way. What I also love about the cloak is that it is quilted in a shape of a magnified thumbprint, so it goes back to that idea of the individual and free will.” (x)
