Related: 'Gilda' Shows Darkness While 'Casablanca' Stays Light As it turns out, there are many great ways to utilize black and white photography, even today. Whether it's to give the film a unique visual style or to enhance a theme of melancholy or loneliness, the following films benefit from their minimal aesthetic, each providing a truly special cinematic experience. 'The Man Who Wasn't There' (2001) In 1940s California, barber Ed Crane (Billy Bob Thornton) is deeply unsatisfied with his life.

In a world where films are packaged with great visuals, dynamic sequences, and pretty actors, shooting a film in black and white is a calculated stylistic risk. While many studios are uncomfortable with black-and-white films due to their gloomy market perception, the monochromatic format provides perfect contrast between where reality ends and where cinema begins. The black-and-white format is normally preferred by auteurs and artists, as they try to create a unique cinematic experience that offers an unconventional break from conventional movies. While colorful movies might be entertaining and engaging in the moment, black-and-white films are deep and satisfying, carving out a place in our hearts and minds for eternity. 10 The White Ribbon (2009) Michael Hanekes The White Ribbon starts off as a childrens story before gradually turning into a meditation on the genesis of violence and the grotesque shadow it casts on society. Told as a parable, Hanekes film provides a closer look a...

Shortly after we bought it, three years ago, our car was impounded because we didnt realise we couldnt park across the street. This was not our finest moment, but one we now find ourselves desperately hoping weve repeated. There is nothing on the system except for a reference to the original impounding, complete with date stamps of when it was returned to us for a small fee.We call the police non-emergency line, sitting through dozens of automated messages telling us all the reasons we should not be calling, before giving up and reporting it online. Within an hour, Ive received an email saying the car has been impounded after all. Embarrassed but delighted, we call the impound who tells us they do not, in fact, have our car and that the police must have looked at the old case, with its clearl...
