Color Usage in Only Lovers Left Alive

Color is used successfully in the film Only Lovers Left Alive by Jim Jarmusch. The cool colors in the first image have a relaxing feel to them. The slight difference in color make the figures stand out apart from the rest of the image. In the second picture, the colors are more warm and soft. They look inviting and draw the attention to the figures. The viewer's eye is drawn to the splash of red, which brings a sense of excitement to the viewer.
