    something darker or perhaps electronic as seen in Drive (Nicolas Refn 2011) This would be to make the film more part of the present and I prefer the ominous tone it presents.

The black and white is used to give narrative structure amidst its confusing plot‚ rather than for he purpose of adding “visual richness”
