This week I’m bringing you an arthouse film from Russia which competed at the 69th Venice Film Festival. What particularly struck me is the cinematography of this film. Shot in the fall it presents a rich, somber and gloomy palette of colors. Study this to see how mood and atmosphere is conveyed through weather. Russian cinema has been struggling since the fall of Soviet Union but it is slowly re-entering world cinema.

Betrayal comes from Kirill Serebrennikov. Watch the trailer below
