![]() If I'm not mixing up my chronologies here, I seem to recall the cool layered effect of the Shins' Chutes Too Narrow cover being an inspiration in this direction. ![]() One of the ideas I had kicking around in my head seemed at first like a good solution-I had this notion of Janet Frame constructing a world around herself via her writing, so I thought using an obviously "fake" style to recreate "real" scenes from the film could be an interesting way to turn a limitation into a strength. Since one thing we really hate to do at Criterion is represent a color film with black and white art (unless there's a good reason for it), I was limited in my options. Apparently they hadn't really taken any color photographs on set (or if they had, we couldn't find them), so the closest we had were some crudely colorized black and white stills. ![]() Unfortunately for such a beautiful, colorful film, we had almost no color photography from the film. It's also about the beautiful New Zealand landscape and a painfully introverted girl learning to experience the world around her. An Angel at My Tableis a film about writing, more specifically about the writer Janet Frame. ![]()
