I loved Luca Guadagnino's new film CHALLENGERS. The score, the acting, and the script are all fantastic. But maybe my favorite part was the cinematography. The color grade on the film is naturalistic, which is a nice change of pace from the onslaught of filmmakers trying to make their work look like JOKER.
CHALLENGERS doesn't feel the need to have an extreme color grade, it allows the visuals to be clean and natural, giving way to more expressionistic camerawork and letting the performances of the actors shine. There's no split tone, no whacky Kodak 2383 film emulation LUTs, just good visuals to accompany a great movie.
In this video I talk about why more films should embrace a naturalistic look like this.
