Drama Films as Colour Posters

Dramas live on mood, and moods have colours. A film like Moonlight or The Lives of Others changes its palette with every chapter of the story: warm in memories, cool in conflict, bright in a moment of relief. On the poster that becomes a calm, almost musical progression. The sediment design suits them especially well, layering the colours like rock strata. Dramas also work on group posters: three films that shaped you, side by side.
