The is one of the first designs I made and still one of my favorites. Provided, in my mind, it is one of the most difficult and powerful films ever made and my favorite film as well. This image comes from right around the fall in the film where everything starts to go downhill, the mood changes, and the world falls apart. We see Harry (Jared Leto) and Marion (Jennifer Connelly) sitting on the couch mere feet from each other yet worlds apart, unable to connect, ashamed of their own actions and the actions of each other. I think, at its heart, that is the real idea of the film: people's inability to quite connect; so close, but not quite. The rift that causes that makes our characters fall, retreating into their addictions, and eventually destroying themselves and each other. All I really did to this is was enhance the blues and add a bit of glow to the frame which is flawlessly shot and blocked by Darren Aronofski. Then I added the text with the same hue and subtle glow.
