“With technology advancing so quickly, it is rare to work in this format lately, so I was really thrilled to be able to work on a film-captured movie again.” “I love the texture and subtle colour that film brings to an image and, in all honesty, I personally prefer working with film than I do digital captured images, because of its organic feel,” added Metzker. It is set in a violent Gujarat and was shot on numerous sets in Mumbai and - surprisingly for director Bhansali - many locations in Rajistan, including the Udipur Palace. This process has always worked well for us and it seemed to be successful again this time.”Įxcept for a few high-speed shots, where the Phantom camera was used, the movie was mostly shot on film. He likes to develop specific contrast and colour set-ups, leave me to the grade and then we fine-tune the reels together. “This was my third time working with Ravi Varman,” Metzker said, “so I was already very familiar with his style and way of working. Working alongside cinematographer Ravi Varman, was senior colourist Ken Metzker who was responsible for the grade, ensuring the romantic creation had the right textures and tones throughout. Together with Bhansali, the film was produced by Eros International, with the DI and visual effects completed by Reliance MediaWorks in Mumbai, India.
RAM LEELA NETFLIX FULL
It is full of vibrant colours, beautiful Rajistan locations, creative sets and beautiful costume designs. Set in Gujarat, northwest India, the film is a love story set against a backdrop of guns and violence. Reliance MediaWorks’ senior colourist, Ken Metzker, explains why working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Ram-Leela’ was everything a colourist could ask for.ĭirected by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and starring Ranveer Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, Ram-Leela is a colourful adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. This could have been emphasized more, but you can't have everything.Baselight adds colour to new Shakespeare adaptation
As for those claiming it's not a love story, I agree: it's a battle of egos, and most important, a battle with the self for each of the characters. What it lacks in plot-line (although decent), makes up with daring performances and honest acting. From my point of view, it's aligned with European films. While it seemed quite tame to me, certain watchers found it "vulgar", or too sexual. I had a hard time understanding why it's got such harsh reviews, given how good it is, but reading them I realized what the problem is (and probably why I liked it): Ram-Leela is not a film for puritans. There's great chemistry in there, as well as some more than convincing acting, all in wonderful colours and costumes. Apart for a few scenes, the director made use of the actor's skills, and pushed them to the point they save the sometimes-poor script. I am not familiar with any of the actors nor with Bollywood films in general, which I do not find appealing because of their over- dramatisation of. The film is intense, wonderfully directed and benefits from great acting. I did, however, watch it, and I loved it. On the other hand, a- not-so-good rating and most reviewers claiming it was very bad were lowering my expectations. On one hand, I had seen the Nagada Sang Dhol and Lahu Muhn Lag Gaya clips on you-tube - exactly what caught my eye and made me want to watch it.
I watched this film with mixed expectations.
