Without knowing any details on the movie other than “Christopher Nolans next movie is The Odyssey” and that appearing early in the trailer, I thought, Oh ok, cool, kinda doing something visually here, not historically accurate but an artistic adaptation like the 300 or something. Then the rest of the trailer is just, nope, normal Greece. So out of place.
Doesn’t even look like Greece. The lighting (or lack of) makes it look like they were going for the Scandinavia aesthetic or something, not the Mediterranean.
I read an interview with Nolan where he said that because he’s red / green colorblind, he deliberately color grades his films to desaturate those colors and make the final result more accurate to what he sees.
Doesn’t change the fact that bronze/ heavily pigmented ancient Greece is a horrible choice for such a treatment, but still interesting why he does it.
