Quote:
"That wonderful feeling that it's not lit. What's the color palette [in Funny Boy]? It's ochre, it's green, it's blue. It was all real, we didn't light it. We didn't do it in the post, or whatever. We didn't have money to do anything in the post anyways. But it was also about the red of blood when it comes, so the way [Douglas Koch] shot it was always thinking of the emotional core of the scene and always about: 'if this is paradise, wherever paradise is, it can be lost'."
-- Deepa Mehta
