Working with The Extravagants is a delight. Towards the end we briefly land in her world - a far more genteel palette of lavenders and soft pastels – but we only get access to her world momentarily before being exiled to the harsh, cold reality of his life. We used a color palette more often seen in Graphic Novels - cool blues, warm oranges, purples and greens and lots and lots of black.Ī moment of hope surfaces in the middle of the story when we find ourselves inside a church illuminated by beautiful, bright stained glass windows filtering in colored light but soon that scintilla of hope is shattered by a temptation he can’t resist. The character darts through the maze of the city, ducking and diving, hiding and seeking. Most of the story happens in shadows accentuated by pools of light. So yes, at the end they both figured it out - that which was impossible to change. Looking at his life, spiraling out of control, she finally comes to the sad realization that she must withdraw her helping hand or be pulled down with him.
In this film his story is told from her perspective. He's a man who can’t unshackle himself from a life he knows will be his downfall. Essentially the story is about a man who would do anything to save his relationship, except change his ways.
