Keep an eye out for the colours

Rating: 7/10 (11 September 2007)

Zodiac goes for about 3 hrs but I didn't get bored - probably because I'm fascinated with criminology. You will need to have some interest in that sort of thing to enjoy this film, otherwise I can imagine it could be excruciating. Even so, I found the acting to very convincing and enjoyable in itself.
One thing that stood out while watching this was the colour progression. The beginning is dominated by orange tones and offset with some blues. As the film goes on the balance gradually changes so that by the 80's there are mainly blues balanced out by oranges and some red. Look out for how the poles of the newspaper office start out orange and are repainted blue!
