Have to say, Spider Noir was a hoot – watched the colour version, and it looked great to me – tons of dutch shots, split diopters and a general “deep focus” vibe – good story, great acting, lots of fun. Pleasantly suprised 🙂
Hmm…Reminds me a bit of the situation with Deakins on The Man Who Wasn’t There, though Spider-Noir handled it differently by designing for both from day one.
Must have been a real nightmare for the costume & production designers… Even if they liked the challenge, I hope they got paid twice as much!

I’ve seen screen captures of the color version of ‘The Man Who Wasn’t There’ that was released in some markets and it seemed obvious that as much had been done to get it to conform to the intended B&W image as possible. It’s heavily de-saturated and has a sort of ‘bichrome’ look to maintain differences in tonality without adding too much color information, sort of reminiscent of two-color Technicolor from the 1920s and ’30s. There isn’t that much more shadow information in most scenes and it’s clear that the the film was lit and exposed one way, for B&W.
It stands in sharp contrast to Spider Noir where the color version is heavily saturated and the B&W version largely feels like grayscale and higher contrast have then been applied on top of that.
