Chromatic Cinema (2010) provides the first wide-ranging historical overview of cinematic colour, exploring the changing uses and meanings of colour in moving images, from hand painting in early skirt dance films to recent trends in digital colour manipulation.
Wiley-Blackwell currently publishes it at €109.99 in hardcover and €98.99 in ebook, following a pricing model common among academic publishers that targets university libraries and makes their books inaccessible to anyone else.
