The Academy Museum comes on strong with 'Color in Motion: Chromatic Explorations of Cinema'

If you think you don’t like film books, guess again. And if you do love movies or collect books on the history of cinema, be advised. This one is just stunning. Published to accompany the exhibition opening October 6 at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, Color in Motion: Chromatic Explorations of Cinema is a sensual, visual explosion surrounded by stealth scholarship on the evolution and significance of color in film—going all the way back to the silent era, and spanning to the current day. Particular attention is paid to early color productions made primarily through the labor of women, as in these stills from two tinted films from the 1920s: Venus of the South Seas (New Zealand, 1924, dir. James R. Sullivan, at top) and L’Atlantide (France, 1921, dir. Jacques Feyder, below).
