Summer has finally come to an end! Autumn officially begins this Wednesday (20). The season, which is known for falling temperatures and falling leaves, is the backdrop for countless Hollywood films. Productions use this setting to enhance the landscape, in addition to bringing a unique feeling to the audience, as in Good Will Hunting (1997).
Autumn can only be the setting of the film but it also has the ability to dictate the entire cinematography of such a production. Oscar winner Wes Anderson is known for transforming his films into aesthetic color palettes. The Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) is no different; the animation uses the tones of the season during the plot starring George Clooney.
In honor of the end of summer, the Tangerine prepared a list of five films to get you into the autumn mood. Check out:
