DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Stanley Kubrick United States

Meticulously controlled lighting and color palettes to create distinct visual worlds in each film, from the sterile whites of 2001: A Space Odyssey to the blood-red corridors of The Shining.

 Wong Kar-wai Hong Kong

Uses saturated, neon-soaked color and expressive lighting to convey emotion and atmosphere, transforming urban landscapes into dreamlike visual poetry in films like In the Mood for Love.
